Depending on what software you use to capture the video from the VCR, you may have AVI file(s) or MPEG, WMV, or some other file format to start with. But most applications that will capture video and also make DVDs for you will have the ability to convert the video to the right format once it's time to make the DVD. On my PC, a MediaCenter PC from HP, I've got Nero 6.0, Roxio DVD Builder, Window's Movie Maker, something called Arcsoft's ShowBiz, and probably a few other applications I could use. I recommend Nero 6's Burning ROM application for burning the DVD, but as I recall Nero wasn't the best for editing/creating it.

Although I've edited alot of video, most of it didn't involve computers. The last big project I did on my PC was to take video of a Musical my Niece had starred in and burn it to a DVD. I was able to edit out scene changes mainly, and then create useful menus on the DVD for easy access to each scene.

Hope that helps. Plan on spending lots of time.
