How can I burn many movies to a video DVD?

Question

I once bought a DVD containing four 90-minute-long movies. Now I'm trying to write such a DVD, but don't know how to do it.

I tried to use DVD-Flick, but it says the disc is 98% used for a single 90-minute movie. My movies are 700MB dvdrips (AVI).

How can I put four movies on one disc?

Solution

Four 90 minute movies (for a total of 6 hours of film) would result in very poor picture quality on a single 4.6GB DVD.

A typical writable DVD is rated for approximately 2 hours of "good" quality video and generally film studios use dual layers to get more "film" on a DVD so have up to around 9GB available for film data.

The reason why the films only take up 700MB on your hard drive is that they are compressed using a newer higher quality compression method that takes up less space, effectively when you convert to DVD you are expanding it from one high compression algorithm to a another lower compression algorithm (a process known as transcoding).

If you absolutely must fit all four of those films on to one DVD then you can do this in DVD Flick by opening your project, selecting Project Settings on the top bar, then in the window that shows up you can play with the Target Bitrate to adjust the video quality:

Simply turn down the bitrate until all the video fits on the disc.

Please down-voter tell me the reason of your down-vote?

The response looks like an advertisement. You do not show how your program answers the OPs question, you just copied all the features from it's website and pasted them in an unhelpful answer.

@music2myear I edited the answer with a free tool link is now it in right way or not?

It is better, at least it doesn't look like an advertisement now. I've canceled my downvote. To make it even better, show how this program will do specifically what Pallavan wants it to do. Then you'll start getting upvotes.

I saw that Two ninty minute movies on a 4.6GB disc works perfect without any quality loss
