You can't do it on the computer but I do it on my DVD recorder hooked to my TV. (just like a VCR) The quality is still good at the longer playing formats.

I'm not quite sure what you're asking here. Do you mean in a set-top dvd recorder (like a vcr)? Or do you mean for use in a computer?
If you're talking about a set-top, you just have to scroll thru your setup settings. There should be one to record in anything from 1-8 hrs. depending on the brand. The machine will do the rest for you.
If you're talking about on the computer, it depends on what you're trying to record. If you're using your pc like a Tivo unit (meaning you have a tv in card) you should be able to find similar settings to what I mentioned above in the software. If you're trying to convert an avi file (for example) to watch in a stand alone player, you're gonna have to do some math. You have to take the bitrate you're converting to into consideration. Some conversion programs will help with figuring that out, TMPGenc for instance. Otherwise you'll need to get a bitrate calculator...their pretty easy to use. Go to videohelp.com. There is a huge library of resouces, and links to tools that will help you out.

No, these differences rely upon the physical aspects of the disk. You have to buy extended play.
If you want you could overburn, but you are more likely to ruin your dvd burner than you are to achieve success.
