How can I make a video high quality

[prluver]

Hey I currently want to put some videos on a dvd. But first I want to make them as high quality as possible. And maybe even the sound. Is there any software out there that can help me?

Thanks in advance

Are you starting with a high quality source? And what is high quality in your opinion? I think you need to be a bit more concrete in your question to get accurate help. There is plenty of software out there than can encode to mpeg2 at adjustable bitrates or even vc-1.

the less you compress it the better it is
and yes need to know more of what you have and what media you want to save to
example
avi 750mb to mpeg 2 saves out to almost 3gb some software even higher
if viewed only with pc or mac stick with avi it's for high compression and good quality
a dvd at 4gb is a mpeg format can be saved on avi at 1.4gb without loss
