    I've searched google for over an hour now, and can't seem to find a solution. I'm trying to burn a video onto dvd that is longer then two hours. As I don't want to shell out the money for a dual-layer burner and more DVD discs, I just want to split them up onto different DVDs. The quality is already pretty bad, so compressing them won't work too well. I'm trying to use iDVD on my Mac 10.4.11. The discs are -r type. Thanks for any help!

    yeah, seems like you'll either have to sacrifice quality for the one disc, or fork out the money.

    I've found several third party apps, all of which are pissing me off so far :/

    Wait, why can't you fit a +2 hour video of a low quality onto a ~4.7 GB disk?

    Well why didn't you ask for something that doesn't have a time restriction? That would have made things easier, don't you think?

    Have you tried DvDecrypt?

    Theres quite a lot of DVD splitters i'm sure that let you run with a trial period.
