Answer 1

You need DVD shrink!

Answer 2

idk.  could be size or time.  maybe use double layer disks?  good luck.

I'm assuming you mean 1hour 45 minutes - most DVD disks I have are for 1 hr 20 mintues and 4.7G

A rip of a... um... commercial DVD/movie of that length will only fit on a dual-layer blank, unless you compress it with such as DVD Shrink. You can get superb results using Nero Recode, if it happens to be something you might buy or have had bundled with a drive (the bundled versions of Nero Suite keep getting smaller and missing out Nero Digital, so it depends!)

If you went for dual-layer media, I'm not sure that Media Player will burn to it, and even DVD Shrink requires that you have DL compatible burning software present.

Answer 5

Most blank DVDs are 4.7gb (single layer) but a commercial one is much bigger. You can buy dual layer discs, but use a program which will eliminate the extras and only copy the main chain (the feature itself), and can compress the files sufficiently to fit on a 4.7GB DVD.

DVD Xcopy Pro is perfect.

Answer 6

if you can find an "evaluation" version of "convertxtodvd" otherwise you will have to purchase one .

there is a trial version available also that watermarks the film copy.

any of the above options will copy your films.

in fact you will get up to 4 full length films on a dvd (with a menu)to play on your tv through your dvd player.

hope this helps

Answer 7

Download a copy of Nero, hopefully this should give you the option of using a double layer disc if needed, which is 8.6GB, as already advised programmes are available that shrink the programme down to the amount of disc space available.
