Well you wouldnt be able to burn it... of the DVD caps out at 120min (with whatever bitrate) then, (preservering that bitrate) would mean you'd have to splice the files :)

Hi,

The minute ratings on DVDs are misleading and more or less refer to the amount of television programming that can be recorded to the disc.

When burning video/data the proper method to go by is the actual file sizes in MB/GB.

By applying compression to your movie you can fit it onto this disc.
Think of this in terms of bitrate (bits/sec) rather than time only and you will see what I mean. A 21/2 hour movie can be compressed to play normally on a two hour disc becuase the bitrate is reduced. A blank DVD-5 can hold roughly 4.3 GB of movie data so if the bitrate is reduced in your movie so that 4.3 GB is not exceeded, then it will fit.

Not a very technical explanation of how all this works exactly but you get the idea I hope.
