What is the point if you can only record 2 hours? Most movies are longer than that anymore... why was I thinking 8 hours? Are there larger RW discs? Where are they??? Can't anyone tell me?????

I guess I don't know anything about this - I want a DVD recorder, for taping shows and movies from the TV, but when looking at blank DVDs to buy, they all seem to be 4.7 GB, able to hold 120 minutes of video. I feel really ignorant about all of it - I don't know what DivX is, I don't understand dual layer, all I know is what if I want to tape something that is 4 hours long? Is there some kind of user-friendly, walk you through everything website? Someone must know...

If your problem is trying to fit a full feature length movie on 4.7GB, the best way is to use DVD Shrink.
There are also Dual Layer discs, but you need a dual layer DVD burner.

You can get 4.7 GB x2 on a Dual Layer DVD Disc.
4.7 GB represents one layer of data.
Of course, your burner needs to support DL technology.

there dual layer disks which do about 9 gigs - you need a dual layer recorder but they play the same as commercial DVD's are dual layer
There are plenty of applications that will shrink a commercial DVD to fit a 4.7 gig one dvdshrink is one

No. I can put 10-12 hours on a disc if I use Divx.
