Windows DVD Maker is limited to 150 minutes. Since most DVDs will record only 120 minutes, that's usually enough.

I use any video converter to convert it to mpeg status to burn as my dvd maker wont make dvd's of anything else for some reason and yes I am computer savvy enough to get where I'm going I just can't find the file to change the time. In answer to other question My dvd recorder hooked to my cable box will record up to 6 hrs. on a 2 hour dvd

I guess that's the trick. You have to rerecord with the video recorder. You lose quality though. Or maybe there is even a way to hook up the recorder to the PC for recording. I have seen equipment that allows the hookup for input to the PC.

Apparently the recorder uses some different compression to get 6 hours on a DVD. The .vob (Video Object) is the format on commercial DVDs which isn't compressed as much as .mpeg files are.
I can offer an option while it's not a solution to your question.
Use Blu-ray disks and a recorder if possible in your setup. One BD has 25GB and I think would record well over the DVD maker limits.

The quality has to be loweredhow can I extend record time on windows dvd maker from 150 minutes to at least 180? I've looked in folder thinking I could change it in there but no luck.Any help appreciated
The lower the quality the more you can fit
Also if you are streaming direct to disk it should be able to fit it all in there when streaming it compresses in a different manner as WHS said
