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?

    The type of software that you use to put video files on a DVD-player compatible disc is called DVD authoring software, and IIRC it will generally default to a very basic menu. I haven’t done this in well over a decade, so I don’t even remember which software exactly I used.

        I would expect the biggest time sink to be the burning itself, because you generally want to burn optical media at the slowest possible speed for best results, and the biggest manual time sink to be putting in episode titles unless you want to get fancy with it.
