CDs don't have enough room (800 meg) - but DVDs do.

Answer 2

When you say video tapes do you mean VHS tapes? Full size? And when you say CD do you mean CD or DVD?

Answer 3

Your best bet would be to purchase a DVD recorder.  Many of them have camcorder inputs (just plug your camcorder in and hit record), and if your videos are already on VHS, you can purchase a DVD/VHS recorder combo.  You can find one for a few hundred dollars (I believe Panasonic makes a decent one for about $300).  You can turn your old VHS tapes (non copyright protected, that is) into DVDs at a good quality.
