Second, To create a project on the scale you are proposing, to store the animation as single JPG frames is, for want of a better word, insane. First it makes compiling and editing a monumental task. second you will spend enormous amounts of time just keeping a catalog of all the image sequences. Also have you considered how you will apply sound and sound effects, or dialog? Editing is a laborious process even with short scene takes. I would suggest that you render out full frame non compressed AVI scene takes. The storage requirements will be huge still. Keep your takes between 10 and 30 seconds and edit them in that fashion. Maya fusion and adobe premier / after effects work best in this mode. Once you have the full length assembled and the sound track laid down. You can use a number of DVD codecs to create the DVD stream. Quicktime Pro allows you to convert an AVI or Move to a DVD stream and it costs only 29 dollars. It is much easier to work with 10 to 30 second AVI clips than fiest having to assemble a couple hundred frames at a clip.
