I have a program i hva used for this several times with mpeg movies from a video camera where i hae had more than would normally fit onto one disk

the program is Pinnacle T-Rex an it camme with a pctv pro card

it will convert the files to mpeg 2 or 4 and i have had it take a 750mb mpeg and once it ws done the finished file was only 380mb this has allowed me to get more video onto a single dvd disk.

and i was using sonic my dvd for the burning.

though i do not know if these can be purchased as stand alone products

hope this helps
what is the model and brand of your dvd burner?

DVD X Copy from 321 Studios (who have been shut down, but will still activate your software) will copy the entire disc on a 4.7gb DVD +/- R/RW

I backup all of my own movies to protect my investment.

DVD -R is better for playback in more DVD players than the +R's but with my JVC DVD Player both work equally as well. I get the menus, the movie and all the extras on one disc.
