I'm trying to burn a DVD from a movie file that I have on my computer, using My DVD.  The movie is almost 3 1/2 hours long, and even at the EP setting I have to put it on two discs.  I don't mind doing that, but when I put the first disc in to burn, it says "not enough space", and won't let me continue.  Is there a setting to allow me to burn a single large movie file onto two discs?

Use MyDVD, and burn it to  a folder set, and use Disc Copier to burn it to a DVD.  I would bet the quality won't be real good with that long of a production.

Thanks.  How do I burn the file to a folder set?

In MyDVD, you select it in the burn options, when you click on the Burn button.

What do I do with the files once I have saved them to a folder set?  There are a few different file extensions that I don't recognize.  Since I will be putting this movie on two discs, how do I know which file goes on which disc?

With Disc Copier - just Browse to the Folder and it will know what to do...

Understand that 3 1/2 hours on a 1 hour DVD will look like s__t bad!
