The 120 minutes is a just marketing term. Much like the fact that the packaging states 4.7 GB while a DVD blank is only 4.37 GB.

The only thing that determines how many hours a DVD can hold is the bitrate.

For example, you can fit 15 hours of video on DVD, but it will look really bad.


High bitrate = Less video = Great quality

Low bitrate = More video = Bad quality
