That depends - what are you planning to use to play the videos? A computer? A standalone DVD/BD player? Media player, like the WDTV, Popcorn Hour, etc.? If you're going to use a standalone (non-computer) device, you're probably limited to whatever formats the device will recognize - and many of the DVD/BD players tend to be rather strict on how the videos they do recognize are encoded.

If you're hoping to create a DVD-Video disc, on the other hand (one that should be compatible with more players), it's generally not recommended to go over 2-3 hours of video. (I'm not saying you can't go over three hours - but the quality of the video will definitely decrease. Whether or not the resulting quality is acceptable is up to you.)

Edit: Okay, saw that last part. 25GB? Those '4 or so movies' must be big...

DVDs are NOT 25GB discs. If you are actually wanting to burn to BluRay discs you need to say so if you want accurate help. We can't read minds.
