I'm trying to burn four (approximately) 20 minute videos, each about 320 megs.  By the time I insert the third video, I'm already over the max, and with the fourth the estimated space is over 5.5 gigs.  I've got it set on best quality to fit the disc (which turns out to be low), animated menus off, no sound.  Is that the best that can be done?  My older program let me put up to four hours on a single DVD...is this capable of that?

My opinion would be to remove the fit to disc and burn it at best quality to an image file then allow Disc Copier to burn it to disc which will fit the image file on 1 disc at the best possible quality.  I've successfully burned up to 7.2 GB on 1 disc at excellent quality and other have done so with larger files as well.
