Couple questions
 

I recently realized I've been spending way too much money on DVD's and became scared some of them may be hurt in a move coming up for me. I heard that regular DVD burners won't burn a whole DVD. So I researched and found out that Sony was coming out with a Double Layered burner capable of burning up to 8.5 gigs. THe burner got good reviews, but I've been told the media is expensive as hell.

So I may just get a high quality regular DVD-rw. What should i expect as far as burning dvd's goes? Am i going to have to cut all the menus and special features and things out? Or are there compression techiques that will enable a whole movie to be fit onto a DVD-r?

Hope this makes sense. Thanks.

You don't need a dual layer burner to do movies. You can either split onto two discs or compress. Read the dvd backup for dummies sticky on the top of this board.

Thanks for your time :)
