Most of the times I have found DVDs purchased to be consisting 3-4 movies,
i.e. of 5-6 hours in time length on a single disk of 120 Minutes. How the
same can be achieved?
Does lowering down the quality allow you record additional length?
Thanx in advance.

I think you are posting in the wrong group.
Windows movie maker is an editing application bundled with
some versions of Windows.
A DVD's duration is defined by it's capacity which in simple
terms are 4.7gb and Dual/Double layer being 8.5gb.
This is not the group to detail bit and sampling rates, compression etc
But 120 minutes is the accepted "standard play" for a 4.7gb DVD.
Longer duration can be achieved with compression, but at the cost
of quality.
If you have "purchased" DVD's that have several films totalling 6hours
in duration then heavy compression was applied, and they are
probably pirated copies you purchased.
The compression techniques you seem to be enquiring about are
performed at the burning stage in your authoring software.
This really isn't the group for that.
If you wish to author DVD's with extended duration, thus applying
compression, the first place to start is with online tutorials from
the support site for your burning software.
If you've got Nero, or Roxio, Pinnacle, or whatever tool, type it into
a search engine and visit the online site, click support or tutorials.
