How do you determine minutes to copy from hard drive to DVD?

Tweet

When you are coping videos/movies from your camcorder to DVD via computer, you first save them to the hard drive in folders etc. Then you copy from the folder to the DVD. Questions: How do you organize your folders? I tend to be extremely specific and end up with ton of files or very vague nad end up with a few folders packed full! How do you classify yours for easy access and copying? How many is a good amount to put in one folder? Also, how do you determine how many movies you can put on a DVD? for instance,... my cam corder uses the mini DVD disk and hold 30 minutes. The DVD I copy them to hold 4.7GN or 120 minutes. 60 minutes is where I really want to be cause other than me, I don't think anyone I am giving these home movies to will sit for hour and a half! But how do I put 60 minutes from multiple 30 minute savings to a 60 minute DVD.... if htat makes sense. Do I add up the minutes of the ones I have saved from the mini camera DVD and just copy those over or is that even a possibility or is there another way...easier hopefully? Thanks for all comments. I have been working onthis for a year now and have just found out how to get this far.. thanks to theprogramer here on my lot!
