How do I squeeze a 3 hour movie on 120 min. disc

But I'm not writing a tutorial. Just how I did it.

Step 1. I made a DVD of the movie with DVD FLICK.
"At the bottom of the screen you can choose where DVD Flick will put the encoded DVD files" (from the DVD FLICK instructions lets me do step 2.)

Step 2. I shrank it to a single sided 4.7GB DVD size with DVD SHRINK.
Step 3. I recorded it to my DVD+R media with IMG BURN.

All these are freeware and widely documented on how to use, operate and more so I never offer more than the titles and the steps or order in which I use them.

The times you see mentioned on disks (120 minute DVD, or 74 minute audio CD, etc) are only approximations. It is not time recorded on a disk but bytes. And there is a limit to the number of bytes (actually think megabytes or gigabytes; they are easier to comprehend) you can put on a disk, whether it is a DVD or a CD.

When it comes to a DVD, a single layer DVD, then you are pretty much limited to 4.7 GB (GigaBytes). If it is a double-layer DVD then you may get approximately about 8.5 GB. There are all kinds of variations with DVD disks, pertaining to the format and physical size of the disk, but 8.5 GB is close enough for this discussion.

(If you want to talk about the new BluRay disks, well then we are talking in excess of 25 GB!)

Anyway, check out the size - NOT the time, of your video to be recorded on your disk, and see if that amount of space is possible on your choice of disk and format.

Good luck.
