At any bricks-and-mortar or on line store that sells software. There are a million authoring programs - do some investigating.

Help is appreciated!
The structure of a DVD is very constrained. You can't just add DVD-type files once you've added one set (i.e., one show).
You need what is called authoring software, where you can capture a few files into the edit space, then have the program create a proper DVD from the set. You can also add you own menus in such a program (before burning).
An alternative - only if your DVD player supports it - is burn a few raw video files as data files to a DVD. To do this you'd have to convert the MCE files (type dvr-ms) to acceptable video files (mpg2, DivX, Xvid, whatever your player accepts and you like). You would need to instruct your burning program not to finalize the disk until you've burned your last file.
