Have a question about DVD2One. I am attempting to burn a 4 hour film on to a dual layer disc but I think the size of the film is slightly beyond the capacity of the dual layer disc itself (slightly over the 8.6 gigs or whatever is standard for DL). So I have no choice but to compress the film slightly so that it fits right? If so, how to I get around the option where DVD2One automatically defaults the compression output to fit a standard 4.6 single layer dvd? Is there a way have it output to dual layer capacity? I don't want to compress it THAT much because it would produce a very poor quality film!
Choose "DVD-9" as your target output size....I'm not sitting in front of my PC and don't have access to the program to tell you exactly where you will find this option so just look around.

Use dvd shrink if possible in custom size mode if possible and burn with imgburn , free from www.imgburn.com
If it is slightly over the limit, you should be able to remove some audio traks for example, like the DTS that is probably close to 500mb, and any foreign languages that you don't care about, and you might not need to compress at all.
Follow Cyprus's advice. If it's only a couple of 100 meg over the limit, then getting rid of subtitles, unnecessary audio tracks (Eg: Director's Commentary) and extras should do the trick.
If you just want to compress the video and keep everything intact, then use DVDShrink and set the target output to DVD9 and that should do it.
