I have a number of "best of" albums that take up 4 or 5 disks and would like to back them up on a single DVD

I presume you are using Data CDs rather than Audio CDs.
Your average CD holds something like 650MB of data. Your average DVD holds something like 4.7GB of data. So a DVD can hold about 7CDs worth of data. So you should get your 4 or 5 CDs onto a single DVD.
In terms of minutes, my rule of thumb is that an MP3 track uses about 1MB per minute. So your DVD should hold about 4,700 minutes of MP3 music.

Depends on the size of the files, and the size that the DVD can take and also what format you choose to burn them cos MP3s take up less. Most programs like media player when burning can show you up 2 how much you can store on the disc

i'd have theory that the DVD equipment would compress it for you once you specify which you're burn it to DVD. through certainty that the placed up production archives for video clips are larger then the DVDs they bypass on only before burning. What does the applying inform you?

Why would you want to use a DVD when CD-r's are a fraction of the cost?
