So I wanted to give a friend an old series on DVD. I thought since I have the series ISOs I can just burn them to disc. BUT the blank DVDs I have are 4GB DVDs and the ISOs are 8GB each. Now I have some spare BDs but apparently the work involved in migrating DVD ISOs to BD is not worth it. Is there no way I can fix this without having to search for higher capacity DVDs?

Normal DVD-R max out at 4.7GB. Wikipedia says there are double layer recordable DVDs with 8.5 GB, I've just never seen one of them. But they're available on Amazon.

Idk. I usually just copy files onto USB thumbdrives these days.

You need a drive that supports burning those double layer disks

But they are real! And work!
