I'm curious about this... how do they get two + hours of video onto a single DVD, when ripping a two-hour show off DVD or Tivo or Dish PVR and trying to write it back to a DVD will take two or more discs?
I know encoding can make a difference, as can the number of disk layers. I think DVD uses MPEG4 as it's encoding mechanism. I'd just like to be able to record a two-hour movie using my DVR and then copy it to a single DVD, not two or three of them. It's just no fun to get up and swap a DVD every 45 minutes.
How do they do it!? Is it possible, with normal home equipment (I have Nero's latest version, plus a DVD writer--unsure if it's dual-layer capable or not) to write a two-hour movie to a single disk at the same quality as the original program?
