If this is for home use, then then the following copy of another post I did my help you. If you want pro results, I can't help you there. The following, I think, gives very good results.
I use Pinnacle Studio DV version 7 to capture from DV camcorder to computer and for editing. I then use it to put the edited version back on a another tape. I then use ULead MovieMaker to recapture the edited version and add menus and stuff and then burn it to DVD (HP DVD100i). I have to put the edited version back on tape because of the 4Gig file limit. I guess I could produce smaller files in Pinnacle and then I can import them into MovieMaker. I have Pinnacle Express for DVD burning but I like the quality of MovieMaker better. I get real good quality DVDs and I am pleased with the results. Even the analog tapes that I convert to DVD through the DV camcorder are great. For the money I havn't seen anything better.
Pinnacle Express is better at doing menus but not at final end product quality. What some people do is author in Express and use MovieMaker to burn the DVD.
Hope this may help is some way.
