• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I'm sure this has been discussed sometime, for that I apologize because I can't find any thread.

I am using idvd 6.0.2. Is there any way to make a dvd, even without menus, over 2 hours? If not, can someone suggest a program where I can? preferbly one that is easy to use for a dummy like me? Thanks.

I believe that if you go over the hour mark, you will need to use double layer DVDs (DVD+R DL, DVD-R DL). Which hold about 8.5GB.

Due to cost I tend to cut my movie down to less than two hours or use two DVDs.

I believe you can, but I have not tried it.
