Answer 2

I understand what you're talking about, but you can't make a DVD player long play. What you need to do is to shrink the DVD files that you have on your hard drive so that they'll fit onto a 4.7 GB DVD disc.

The link below gives you just such a program. It's called DVD Shrink, and it's free.
