This is pretty simple these days given enough $$ ;)

You'll need:
1) reasonably fast PC (PIII/800/256mb ram min)
2) reasonable OS (Win2k or XP)
3) reasonable amount of fast disk space (get a 60 or 80gig 7200rpm
drive) ($200)
4) DV camcorder with firewire (1394) i/o ($600)
5) 1394 card ($50)
6) DVD burner (HP200i +RW, $500)

Your DVD burner will come with the software needed - Sonic MyDVD bites
but works fine for novice users, Ulead VideoStudio6 works better but
is still pretty simple. There are tons of other DVD authoring apps out
there from $50 to $1000.

Shoot video, dump to PC via 1394 into your DVD authoring tool, edit,
create menus, burn to DVD.

DVDs hold between 1-2 hours depending on quality - for commercial
DVDish quality it's 60-90 minutes, VHS quality 120+minutes/disk.

Time to get from video to disk is
camera->pc 1x (ie, 60 minutes of video takes 60 minutes to transfer)
pc->dvd 1-10x (depends on sw and burner used)
