Oliver-
I am assuming the audio on your tape is pretty much just speach, in which case the lowest fidelity of your recording software will probably sound juat fine. Whether powered speakers will improve the quality of the sound you're hearing, I can't say without knowing what you've got--you'll just have to try a set.
If you recorded your video to a CD, what you have is a data file on the disk, which may play on a computer (WMF files will), but not on a DVD player. To do that, you'll need to use a program that will "burn" a DVD from your video file. Nero is a popular one, but there are a lot of shareware programs you can download that work fine, and one may even have come with your video card.
Just keep in mind that the signal on your video tape is analog. Your video card converts it to a digital media file. An authoring program like Nerovision re-formats your file so it can be read by a DVD player and then burns it onto a DVD disk. Sounds a little complicated, but most programs these days have wizards that walk you through the process.
FYI, an hour of video is a big file to download, and you won't be able to share it with folks on a dial-up conection. Even 300K DSL is problematic.
