Need help plz - burn dvd

When I've looked up help, it says to click the arrow below the burn tab to
get more options. The problem is I don't have anything underneath the burn
tab - no arrows. Does anyone know what the problem may be, I'm wanting to
extend the length on the dvd (to lp etc)

The only place I have seen where you can select
the "LP" for burning DVDs is on my DVD stand
alone recorder/player connected to my TV. It
has 3 options for 2 hr, 4 hr, & 8 hr recordings,
but that applies to the compression method used
to record to the DVD. I have never seen this
option on any of my computers.

What in the world are you using to burn as a DVD writer or software? Help in
what for what?
What have you given us to reference and look at to help you?

I have burned hundreds of DVD's and also have never heard of this
feature...it sounds like a stand-alone DVR feature. When burning video on a
PC to DVD, as far as I know, the amount of video you get on the dvd depends
on the settings in the software that you used to compress/convert it.

If this feature does indeed exist, then it must be a function of your DVD
video editing software.
