Little cameras, 10x zoom lenses

Senior Editor Josh Goldman says of these small wonders, "The bodies get smaller, but the lenses stay long. Compact 10x zoom models must be selling well as camera makers continue to churn them out. It makes sense, too, with a lot of people buying their second, third, or fourth digital camera, they likely already have something more compact with a 3x or 5x zoom and it seems the first thing they want to improve is that range."

However, the videos I shoot are approximately 45-55 minutes in length on average and apparently this is too large to fit on a DVD as is, without needing to place each video on multiple DVDs. Obviously, this is not preferred having to use multiple DVDs for each video. Right now, I am not trying to edit any of the material or anything like that. I simply want to start off be learning how to transfer each video to a single DVD.
