as i have taken a new sony handycam, it write on a 8cm dvd in dvd format. when recorded on standard picture quality, the 1.4gb disc recording time is only 30 minutes.
and this disc is too expensive. so what i want to do is to transfer the content of 3 mini dvd (1.4gb each) onto a normal size 4.7gb disc.
but how???

stick the discs into your computer and copy and .vob files (or any other video format such as .mpeg, .mpg, .mov, .avi, .mt2) and put them into a folder on your harddrive, then get a blank DVD and move those files onto it and burn the DVD. This will have the raw (uncompressed unedited) footage on a DVD for you to do with what you like. sort of like a storage space, and you can archive them.

What I suggest is editing them and making DVD's with them which you can easily do with Adobe Premiere, or Sony Vegas and DVD Architect. Otherwise any burning program will burn DVDs for you, they just won't play in a DVD player, but you'll have the footage you can watch on a computer anytime!

I hope this helps and good luck. ask me if you have any other questions as I do this sort of thing for a living

thank u for thr reply.
do u use sony handycam , which model? and as the user manual says that i have to finalise the recorded dvd for playing it on a dvd player (finalising disc makes menu). so for copying it in my computer, is it necessary to finalise it??? as u r a professional, i would like to ask that which software is best for me for editing. it should be easy. and what i have to do for playing it in dvd?

yes you have to finalize it and then put it on your computer. to edit it, Sony DVD Architect is the easiest to learn/use program.
