DVD+R Question

[bballskilllz32]

My burner only burns DVD+R and can only hold 120 minutes of video, do they make DVD+R with more space so i can burn most movies? How is the quality?

Your burner, burns to DVD-5 (4.7Gig) disks. Many commercial DVD's are burned on DVD-10 disks (9.4Gig.) Some people also call DVD-10 disks DVD-9 disks. This is how commercial companies fit more than two hours on one DVD at full DVD resolution. Most people here use various programs to strip down the DVD (remove subtitles, closed captions, extras, behind the scene stuff, etc) and make what's left fit on a DVD-5 format disk. One of the more popular programs for this is DVD-Shrink, another is DVDXCOPY. In most cases the quality difference is not noticable.

120 minutes is not a set limit. The limit is the space available on the disc. You can encode video at a lower bitrate and fit more on a disc, or use a higher bitrate and fit less than 120 minutes. How much quality you lose by reducing the bitrate depends on the material, the resolution, the details of how you're encoding, etc.
