Re: My DVD Burner Won't Burn Anything Over 60 Mins Long

The bottom line here is that DVD "high quality" uses 4+GB per hour of DVD video. Once you've captured your videos to disk, you need to find a utility that allows conversion to "standard play" which is the 2 hour mode or one that automatically fits your video(s) to a standard size (4.7 or 8.5GB) DVD. I've found nothing better (without spending hundreds) than TMPGEnc's DVD Author 3, or for a simple solution (no editing features), VSO's ConvertXtoDVD.

Thanks to everybody for the great answers and alternatives, what would happen if I simply downgrade the quality of my videos transferred from my VHS tapes to my harddrive? To make the space-gigabyte consumption smaller? I'm using a Dazzle device (ancient, from 2001) to import my VHS tapes into my harddrive and it has a selection menu what quality I want my videos in, I could downgrade that quality no?

Yes, you could downgrade the quality recorded it records with. You have to determine how low a quality you can stand to have by testing it.
