    how long is the original vhs?, why on 2 discs when most dvd recorders can put up to 6 hours on one disk, i use 4 different recorders( 2 x Sony & 2 x Panasonic) all can do 1, 2, 3, 4 & 6 hour on disk. i do mainly 4 hours on a disk most of the time.

    Couldn't a dual layer DVD put both on a single disc without compressing the video?

    There used to be a program called DVD shrink which did exactly what you want. Might be worth a search.
    Failing that can you not rip them to Avi

    Just note that any compression with reduce bitrate. This may not have much affect as the original was VHS but be aware
