Are DVD-R discs made with 180mins space on them or is it just 120mins. If they do 180mins where can i buy them

Answer 1

Your DVD recorder most likely has a quality setting on it. My Liteon has various settings which, on a "120 min DVD" will record 60 mins, 120 mins, 180 mins, 240 mins or 360 mins.

Usually you can fit up to about 6 hours on a standard DVD by using the highest level of compression. Of course, the more is is compressed the worse the picture quality gets.

As mentioned, some DVD players will play DivX and AVI files. A DivX movie is usually about 700Mb but a DVD will hold approx 4.5Gb. You can therefore put approx 6 DivX movies on a DVD.

As also mentioned, you can buy Dual Layer DVDs. These are basically double the capacity of a standard DVD but you would need to make sure that your DVD recorder can use them.

Answer 2

The "minutes" or "hours" ratings are actually fairly useless. The quality of the video is more important then length. Depending on the compression format that is used, you can fit either a lot more (often up to five feature length movies with DivX), or possibly only a half hour of high-definition video, onto the DVD.

Answer 3

Remember, it's not the length of the movie in minutes that matters. It's the file size of the movie and if that movie can fit onto the size of your DVD-R.

I have some 150 minute movies that fit on a 120 minute DVD-R.

So you would want to first see the size of the movie and then see the size of what your DVD-R can handle plus check your copying software to see what it can do as well.
