Burning more than 4.38GB on a DVD

Hello everyone,

I'm using Nero Express to burn my DVDs. The maximum size I'm allowed to burn is only 4.38GB. I've a video collection that is about 4.45 or 4.5GB and I would like them to burn onto a single DVD. How can I safely burn them onto a DVD?

i think just try 2 free soft from below link... i successfully made my dvds cotaining divx/xvid movies which works fine on philips dvd player.... just burn at less speed than marked on dvd....

Hmm..even I want to know how to overburn a DVD, just like a CD. Because, the marked data is 4.7 GB, then we must be able to somehow write that much data onto it.

It depends on the Type of DVD writer u r using!.Even though its Possible Dont Give it a Try as it will arise u with problems.Instead use another DVD for Safety.
To burn Movies bigger than size of the DVDs use DVD shrink.See the Guide Below

Try uLead Disc Creator 3. I am unable to find a download link to it. This proggy is however annoying.

U can download uLead DVD Movie Factory 5 from here *www.softpedia.com/get/CD-DVD-Tools/CD-DVD-Rip-Other-Tools/Ulead-DVD-MovieFactory.shtml

Never try to burn any DVD more than 4.2 GB as this might create copying problems in the future

I made the blunder of burning my mp3 DVD Collection like this and now only one of them is copying out of 5

But I am able to play every one of them, no able to recover with any of the file recovery software

So, just don't say I didn't warn you

Ok. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll burn them onto two separate media now.

But theoretically, what is the way?

Overburning option is supported in Nero. It's available under options.

So thats copy protected disc. However I normally burn 4450-4480MB on my dvds and I can easily copy them. Might be the speed alongwith the size creates problem. I burn dvds at the slowest speed. 2x

Although overburning can be achieved without much sweat but it is not recommended for movies/video.

you can overburn successfully upto 4.7gb easily... its worth takin a risk...

It costs atleast 200 bucks. With that much of amount, you can get 13 Imation DVDs.

dual layer dvds r way too costly... Rather take 20 normal ones
