    How and what did you use to convert to DVD? Make it the proper size in the first place for best quality.

    Why not a dual layer DVD-9?

    Money vs time I suppose.

    I've recorded a lot of football games and converted them to DVDs, and I would think that DVD Shrink could get the files a bit closer to single-layer size than 6 gigs, starting with an 8.14 gig source file...

    You'd probably have to re-Shrink the file, though.

    If you still have the original recording, re-encode to lower bitrate?

    DL is your best bet..you are trying to cram 4 hours on a single dvd. if you shrink it to half size you are going to see some nasties.
