    SVP list some 4.85GB (so called 124 min) disks which are the largest capacity single layer disks I've seen. Does your burner support dual-layer recording?

    I don't know why some manufacturers are listing recording time in minutes since this is entirely determined by the bitrate set in the encoder.

    I'll make a guess. You are probably attempting to backup one of your personal DVD collection to a DVD-R in case it gets damaged. The DVD you are attempting to backup is probably DVD9 (dual-layer) and as such can hold up to four hours of video. As blank dual-layer media is still expensive standard thing to do in that case would shrink (ie. use a program to reduce the bitrate) the contents of the dual layer disk to fit on a standard single layer DVD-R. Dual-layer media has dropped a bit in price but it's probably still five times dearer than standard single-layer media.

    Yeah, just get a normal blank DVD and use DVD shrink. I strongly suggest using the two pass encode (can't remember what they call it...deep analysis or something) for quality.
