hi my DVD SH893M has film on its HDD which are over 2hrs, now i know the DVD will not burn DL DVDs. is there a way to burn them onto DL DVD's? i thought about connecting the HDD to my PC but not sure if the PC will understand the format, or can i put a DL DVD recorder in the Samsung?
Firstly, films over 2 hours are very rare indeed... so ensure the material is reduced to its minimum by editing out adverts, if present, and any trash at the beginning and end.
That may get it down to below 2 hours.
Secondly, whether or not you do the above, try to put it on a conventional disc. You may find it will go.
The two hour limity is not absolute and how the material was sourced can make a large difference to toal capacity of a disc.
Thirdly, if it will not go onto a standard disc, see if you can use the FR mode [ Flexible record mode] to copy onto disc.
Fourthly, the above may not be possible depending on where the title was sourced - If from a digital tuner, I believe these machines do not permit re-enciding of such broadcasts.
