If you want to fit 60 mins into a DVD you have little choice but to use an mpeg-like compression. If you want to keep the DV quality and ability to edit at a later time, I would stick to DV -- ie 3 to 4 DVDs for a 1 hour tape.

I too have often wondered about moving all my dvd tapes into DVD-R in dv format. For archiving, which medium is more reliable? DVD or tape?
