Not sure what you mean by XP's copy wizard, but you are probably better  
off using Nero or one of the other burning programs and burning a Video  
CD if you require them to play in a standard DVD player. 
 
MPEG2 will give better quality, but will take up much more space, so  
your video will probably require 2 cds.
