Burning DVC movies from my camera to DVD

[Corpsman]

I have a Sony DVC that uses Digital 8 media. I want to burn these movies I make to DVDs but I am not sure of a few things:

 

1) What format should I burn them to? Windows Movie Maker only make WMA files and I don't think I can play that format on my DVD player.

 

2) What is a simple program that will allow me to choose the file type, make a simple menu with maybe an image, or preview, and some background music?

 

3) What program will not take me hours to convert the file types so I can play them on a DVD player?

are you sure about Movie Maker only doing wma files ? mine made avi files which i converted with

tmpgenc express to get mpg files, then used tmpg dvdauthor to make DVD files and use IMGBURN to burn the disc

Ditto, i used the same proceedure with my .avi's. Quick, efficient and trouble free....
