How do I burn a backup DVD which is over 2 hours, like King Kong and Lord Of The Rings? I only have blank DVD+Rs that hold 2 hours of recording. I know how to burn DVDs under 2 hours, but how do you burn DVDs over 2 hours? Thanx

You would need a compression program such as DVD Shrink or Nero Recode. Before using one of these programs you would have to Decrypt the file using a program such as DVD Fab Decrypter.
Note-You will get better quality using DVD Shrink if you only burn the movie itself by reauthoring.
For guides on how to do this, just use your friendly search bar!

You can obtain DVDShrink Free at http://mrbass.org/dvdshrink
There is a guide in my signature for using it in conjunction with DVDdecrypter.
Great programs. I recommend them.

I have DVD Shrink and a DVD Decrypter. So the only thing i need to do is use DVD Shrink and set it to deep analysis and then a 3 hour movie(King Kong) will be burned on my DVD blank which holds 120 min?

You can do the movie using Shrink, the deep analysis and quality enhancements will help if the movie is highly compressed. KK will have a compression of about 51% and that is the movie only and just the 5.1 sound. If you want the best playback quality then use the deep analysis and the Max Smooth AEC. This will take sometime to encode depending on your computer specs.

Just FYI, the length of the movie is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is how much data you can fit onto a DVD. That's about 4475MB, so as long as your video file doesn't exceed that size it can be two, three, six, eight hours long.

I have just backed up my copy of King Kong using Dvd Fab Express and DVD Shrink by reauthoring and keeping just the movie. Also cut out the end credits and set the burning speed at 4x for a better quality backup.

New guy with question in regards to long movies: can you use a DL disc and not compress the movie? thereby keeping as close to possible original quality? Nelson

Thanks, I thought so but just wanted to verify. Bought 10 the other day as officemax is closing. Backed up King Kong but used DVDshrink not thinking. The next day it hit me I didn't need to use shrink. Nelson
