I really consider buying one, but I dont know if it will be big enough to make dvd from a video camera, how big a pc would I need to make the same things? I only know pc, and dont know if it is possible to compare them, but it you can please tell me something about it

The Mac mini will make perfect DVD's as long as you buy it with the DVD burner upgrade. In fact, as it comes with iLife 05 it will be perfect for several reasons.
1. You can plug your DV camera in and get to make an instant DVD. It rewinds your DV tape then plays it and burns a copy direct to DVD.
2. iMove and iDVD are the best consumer editing/ DVD authoring tools around so you can't go far wrong, and they are very easy to use.
3. Even the 1.25GHz model will have plenty of power for editing/ burning. I've been using an 800mhz G4 iMac with no probs.
My only reccomendation is to upgrade to the 80 gig drive if you have the money.. it'll just give you that bit more space when you have all your music, pics and films on. In fact. if you are serious about editing/ burning then the 80 gig HD is pretty much essential. Of course, you could always get an external firewire drive at a later date and they can be very reasonably priced at the moment.
Happy editing

Sure, it can. A DVD is ~6 gigs and the mini-mac has either a 40 gig or 80 gig hard drive.
~6 gigs? you over estimating fool! They are like 4.7 Gigs....
