Most likely you face three choices. Option 1: burn the file to a double-layer disc (I assume as a Video DVD; I am not sure how it would handle something burned as data e.g. an AVI file). You will retain original quality and it's quicker.
Option 2 is to let Nero compress the file to fit on a regular DVD-5. However you will sacrifice some quality (you may even sacrifice a little using the above method if your video is really 9 gigs, as a double-layer actually holds a bit less than that). Use the More->Configuration screen to alter video quality. You can often reduce file size considerably by selecting a non-LPCM audio like MP3, which will spare some small sacrifice in video quality.
Option 3: The third option is to split the video between two DVD-5s. Use Nero Vision to edit the file(s). There is an editing screen with a little scissors on it and after clicking that you can adjust the slider bars just above the buttons to select the portion of the movie you want to put on a disc.
-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.
