If you already have DVD Architect, my suggestion would be to use that and make a DVD. With the right codecs on your computer, it will play and be fully interactive using a virtual DVD application (e.g. PowerDVD). That way you could also play it in a stand alone DVD player if you wish.

The maximum video for high quality, time wise, that you should aim for on a single layer (4.7 gb) is two hours, and 4 hrs for a dual layer (8.5 gb). The key phrase here is high quality. You can cram more on, but it’s like VHS tapes – 2 hrs for SP (higher quality), 4 hrs for LP (a lot less quality) and 6 hrs for EP (really bad quality.

In DVD Architect you can use Optimize DVD to set whatever amount of data (within reason) you want to put on it. A simple way if you wish, is to load your clips in and use the ‘Fit To Disc’ option. Just remember the analogy to VHS!

Covert all your icons to text only and order them. Not sure how many links it will allow per menu. then it will burn a DVD compliant disc for you.
