Problems burning a movie from DVD-R to a DVD+R disc

[Trauma]

I am having serious problems trying to burn a movie from a dvd-r disc to a dvd+r disc. I always get a "not enough space" warning that pops up no matter what authoring program I use. The DVD-r disc that contains the movie is the same size that my dvd+r disc is. The movie only takes up 4.25 GB on the DVD-r disc so I am not sure what the issue is. The blank media I am using does not contain any other data and they hold up to 4.7 GB.

When I play the dvd-r disc on my Apex, it says "SVID" on the top portion of the screen. I have never heard of this format and I don't know if this is my problem. Could someone help me? Thanks in a advance!

i had a similar problem with a film i used nero to do a 1 to 1 copy. i use writer (sony) to read and write when the reading was finish it told me insert a blank but when i did it told me not enough space but the film was only about 3gb. So i use decrypter to rip the entire film (all Files) to a folder on hard drive then i used nero to burn and that worked for me.

Dont know if it will work for you but its worth a try
