[G4] DVD Mastering?

[Thomas Martin]

I am looking to get into mastering DVD's for a friend of mine of a TV 
series he and his wife did.

Where do I get started?  I will be able to get the broadcast master VHS 
tapes, but what software do I need to do this?  What sort of cash 
outlay am I looking at?  I produce a radio program now, and am looking 
at picking up another soon, but DVD's are something I have had very 
little to do with.  Myu goal is not a home looking DVD, but yet a 
professional quality DVD.

My machine is a Sawtooth G4/450 MHz, 896 MB ram, and a half a dozen 
HD's.  Do I need to do any upgrades to make it possible or will I be 
successful with what I have, just a little slow?

How much storage space do I need?  What sort of resolution is typical?  
What hardware to digitize the video/audio? I have an Audiowerk2 sound 
card now which is a decent card.

Thanks!
Thomas Martin
