holds up to 120 minutes? This is BS, I've tried so many different burning softwares and they all say the same. I'm trying to burn a 1 hour P90x video onto a DVD-R that supposedly holds 120 minutes, but all sites say the DVD-R is too short! What the hell, if it supposedly holds up to 2 hours, then why can't it burn this damn DVD?

Please if there is any way to fix this problem I would strongly appreciate it. Also I'd appreciate it if you guys tried putting it in as much lamens terms as possible.

Minutes mean nothing in storage. What is important is FILE SIZE and it has to be less than 4.5 GB.

120 Min assumes a recording bit rate of about 6 Mbits/s. If you use a higher recording rate, you record less time, if you use a smaller bit rate, you record more than 2 hrs!!

So, make sure your Video+audio total bit rate is about 6 Mbits/s and you should be OK.
