Simple question. How much time (min:sec) of digital video format (DV) will fit a 4.7 gb DVD?

Answer : Problem: dv on dvd

I believe you will only get 25-30 minutes of dv on a 4.7GB DVD.  If you want to get more on there you could convert to mpg and then it would fit somewhere in the area of 2hours but you would lose some quality.  If you are just looking for storage space you are better getting a new hard drive and putting them on there.  If you are looking to distribute then you will have to either accept the data limit of dv to dvd or convert to another format that has more compression but lower quality.
