Still not entirely sure what you mean... do you want to copy a full length
DVD movie onto a DVD-R disk like the other thread about xcopy xpress (make
a backup), edit and make your own dvd movies from a
camcorder/ieee1394/other video source*, or copy a dvd movie into another
format (svcd, divx, xvid..) in which case can usually be burnt to cdrom.

For 'editing' movies I can just think of cinelerra, and they have links to
some other things on their site.  I don't know whether this supports
authoring the video into a DVD disc/mpeg layout for burning.

I haven't done any dvd authoring myself, but I've seen some of the stuff
out there and backup my own dvds to other formats (svcd, divx, xvid..)
