When Im trying to create a DVD and I go into preferences Long play and extra long play arent options that I can select. Is there any reason for this? No matter if I put it on 16:9 or 4:3 orwhatever combination I try it never lets me choose that as an option.
Any help would be appreciated

You have to UNCHECK 'fit to disc' for those options to be available.

ok well it cant be on 16:9 and have long or extra long play and then when u switch back to 4:3 it doesnt ungray....  Even with long or extra long play its still too big. With Nero I can take the same 5 video files on 16:9 and have room left over, why does roxio use more space to put a file on?

Most likely MyDVD doesn't support the lower bitrate needed to squeeze that much on a disc.  For manual settings, MyDVD's lowest bitrate is 3MB.
