How to burn multiple movies/episodes to a DVD?

Question:

I would like to convert movies I have into DVD format so I can watch on my portable DVD player, but I’d like to burn multiple episodes to a DVD disc because it’s a TV show and I have the whole season of them. So, the question is how to burn/fit multiple episodes onto a DVD disc which can be played on home DVD player? Or, how to burn different kinds of video files to a DVD?

Answer:

Well, there has been lots of question like this on how to burn multiple movies/episodes onto a DVD disc. How to exactly do that? Is that even possible? Actually, it’s totally possible. If you have the right DVD burning tool, you will be able to burn 2 and more movies/episodes to a DVD disc. This guide will teach you how to make a DVD disc from multiple movies/episodes.

Note:

How many movies/episodes you can burn onto one DVD disc depends on how length your movie is. The general rule, a DVD-5 (Single Layer DVD disc) can hold up to 122 minutes of videos, while a DVD-9 (Dual Layer DVD disc) can hold up to 221 minutes of videos. For example, you have a TV show that’s 55 minutes for each episode, then you can burn 2 episodes onto a DVD-5 disc, 4 episodes onto a DVD-9 disc.

So, you may ask further, a single episode is just around 200 MB, a DVD-5 disc can hold up to 4.7GB files, why just 2 episodes? That’s right, 4.7 GB is for files of a data disc, not a video DVD which can be played on home DVD player. Here we are going to talk about how to burn Video DVD.
