Hello! You need to use a compression software, to allow the DVD content (which is on dual-layer media, 8.5GB) to fit onto your DVD-R disc (which is single-layer, 4.7GB). There are many programs available to complete this task for you, both inexpensive and free; one of the better no-cost versions is DVD Shrink, which may be downloaded at http://www.softpedia.com/get/CD-DVD-Tools/CD-DVD-R... . If you are trying to copy "protected" material, you may also need an additional decryption program (DVD Shrink does offer some decryption capability), but that is another story. Let me know if I can help further. Best regards, Dana
The best program I've found for this is DVD Shrink. It breaks through the copy protection (usually), and it 'rips' a DVD, compressing it in the process to fit on a 4.5 gb blank. If you happen to have Nero, it will actually go ahead and burn the DVD. Otherwise it creates a VIDEO_TS folder or an ISO file, whichever you want, that then goes into your DVD burning software. I use this program several times a month.
You can get DVD Shrink for nothing. Here:

The burning software I like the most is Ashampoo Burning. It's 100% free and can be downloaded here: http://bit.ly/1lAUj3W
A burning software is a tool that you need to create new CDs and DVDs. To make them working properly you need to burn them with a good software. Ashampoo is a very modern and reliable software that I recommend. It has plenty of other functions (e.g. you can edit videos and create DVD menus)
Delete some files on your DVDR. Or try another blank DVD for burn.
you have to rip the dvd first, meaning copy the contents to your computer, THEN burn it on your dvd
and when it says your dvd doesnt have enough space, buy a bigger capacity dvd.

Personally used it, pretty happy with the results. No complicated settings, easy to use. Been using this since last year, and I’d recommend it. Hope it works for you too, check it out
A BluRay disk is physically different than a DVD, so you can't do it that way. But you could probably find a program to convert that structure to a DVD movie structure. (The files have to be converted.)
Hi, i think the article i saw on squidoo site will be helpful to you, it shows how to put video on dvd with a dvd creator program, it seems very easy to use, following is the link if you are interested:

You may take a look at this step by step guide, it will teach you how to convert and burn movie to DVD. I followed it and successfully burned DVD to play on my home DVD player, it's easy to understand, I think it deserves a try.
