It depends on if its single or dual layer DVD, and the length of the movie. Not all movies are the same amount of bytes.
A single layer DVD typically holds 4.7 gigs of data, or two hours of video time. A dual layer DVD has double the capacity.
Rule of thumb is usually one film per DVD as long as it's under 120 minutes.

Depends on compression and file format. I compress my DVDs to DIVX files for my hard drive, so they are about 700mb. That way, I can fit 1 movie on a VCD or 6 on a dvd and the quality loss is hardly noticeable in most cases. You can do this with a freeware program called "FairUse" something or other. It is great, but my DVD player also plays AVI / DIVX files without conversion- most DVD players do not.

It really depends on the size of the movie. One compressed movie is generally about 700mb given that the title screen and other extras are removed.
Or included all contents of the DVD, compression usually allows it to be around the 4.7 on a common disc.
