DVD+R Uses

[Candora]

So, what exactly can I do with a 4.7 GB DVD+R Blank Disc?
If I wanted to, is it possible to put multiple movies on one disc? If so, how?

One DVD will hold approximately 1 1/2 of regular length movie, so practically, you can put one movie on it.
To do it, you need burning program. Vista comes with video burning program built in. In other Windows version, you'll need standalone burning program like Nero, or Roxio.

So what if I had a 700 MB AVI movies?

It'll fit.

The 4.7 DVD disk will store either data - avi, wmv vid files etc as well as other data but also depending on your software options, iso images as well as actual DVD video.

If 700 Mb avi then it's simply a case of burning that - or even 6 of same size!

I invested recently in NTI Media maker 8 - which tho not free does do about everything you might want with burning any disk media.

Let's clarify a little...
4.7 GB DVD will:
1. accommodate 6+ movies (700MB) stored as data.
2. If you want to play a DVD in standalone DVD player, the movie file has to be burned. Burning process expands file size. 4.7GB DVD accommodates about 120 min movie. 700MB movie is about 90 mins long, so burned DVD will hold 1 1/2 of average length movie. Since you don't want to watch half of a movie, DVD is practically good for burning ONE movie.
