TV shows to DVD

[Newtechie]

I've recorded 4 tv shows (each being an hour long) and extracted the
commericals from them leaving about 43 min. for each episode. Each file is
around 1.95gb in mpeg format. I would like to put all 4 on a standard 4.7g
dvd. Is this possible? Do I need to convert the files to another format to
make them smaller so they'll fit? I don't mind losing a little quality.

Thanks,
newtechie

Ignore the physical size of the files, that's matters very little, and look
at the length of videos.
Some software, Ulead Movie Factory and DVD Workshop will do it, can put 3
hours of video on one
standard DVD but I doubt you will be happy with the quality. General rule is
1 hour per DVD but...
Burning 3 hours onto a Dual Layer DVD would not be too bad. I doubt you
would notice the quality
problem. If that is NOT an option then you really should settle for doing it
on 2 DVD's.
