While the resulting files may be larger there are different techniques for reducing the overall size. I have taken movies, pressed on DL DVD's (9GB) and transferred them SL DVD(4.5GB). Yes, the quality slightly degraded and I wouldn't watch it on a screen larger than 26"....but without taking the time and effort I would not rule out success. While my DVD writer is DL capable...I've not used it since the cost of media is more than I'm willing to pay. The OP seems to be OK with using DL. -- Ain't no right way to do a wrong thing. -- The Mad Dogtender 葛斯克 愛德 華 / 台北市八德路四段
