At the standard bit rate you can get about 2 hours on a single layer DVD, and about 90% more on a dual layer. If you drop the bit rate a bit you should be OK.

Dual layers should play on all DVD players.

Subject: [AE] DVD Question

Good day to everyone.

A client wants to jam around 250 minutes of video into a standard DVD. Is that even possible or will the result just look like such crap that it becomes pointless? It's a combination of of footage, graphics and audio – VO over a bed, in most cases. Just wondering what the accepted wisdom is here. Perhaps a dual layered DVD is the answer. But will that play in standard players?

Thanks in advance.
