for some reason i can only fit two 20-minute shows on one DVD-R. I have no idea on what i am doing wrong. I was lead to think that dvd-r hold 120 min of video and i can only hold 40min. On the back of one of my dvd-r packs it says i can record up to 6 hours in a special mode i know nothing about. how can i put 120 min on a dvd-r how can i put 6hr on a dvd-r.

Forget the 120min size of a DVDR, thats just a guide of what it can hold. What it DOES hold is 4.37gig of data regardless of the movie length.
What are the size in Gig of the two 20min eps ? How were they made and waht format are they?

I am using an ATI TV tuner VE card to record TV shows. There are two formats that I use they are:
Recording Quality DVD
Type: MPEG-1
Video: 352x240,NTSC (525) 8.00 M Bit/second
Audio: 48.000KHz, 16 Bit,stereo
and
Recording Quality good
Type: MPEG-2
Video: 640x240, NTSC (525) 6.00 M Bit/second
Audio: 44.100, 16 bit, stereo
the shows are about 1.40 Gigs
how can i fit more on a DVD-R i feel like im getting jipped

At 1.4 meg / movie you can get 3 per DVD no probs (3 x 1.4= 4.2gig and thats less than 4.37gig DVDR file size).
The first type above (the MPEG1) is fine for both Video & Audio. The bit rate at 8000 is very high, most retail DVD's are not even that high, hence the large file size.
The second type above (the MPEg2) is not DVD compliant with reagrds to pic dimensions nor the audio at 48khz.
You can try using DVDLab to author them and let it convert the audio for you to 48kz. See http://www.mediachance.com/dvdlab/tutorial/svcd.html for further details.
You could also re-encode them at 1/2 their original bitrate to reduce their size down. You can use TMPGEnc to do that with 2 pass VBR.

Yes if you re-encode. But you need to do one to see the difference it really makes as it could be minimul.
Of course (www.divx.com) but I thought your trying to put MPEG's onto a DVD so you watch them on the TV. If thats not required, then AVI are normally substantially smaller sized than MPEGs and you can fit more than 6hrs worth on a DVDR.
