Average size of DVD in gb

[Rob_Furio7]

Hi guys, as the title explains, I just wanted to know what an average film is in gb? The Laptop I'm after has 320gb. So I want a fair few films! And few program (Photoshop etc)

Thanks

4.7 Gb mate for a single layer DVD.

Sometimes it's 9.4Gb for dual layer.

Rip it then convert it to .AVI which will either be 700mb or 1.38Gb

Thanks mate, I looked on google but couldn't make sense of what it was saying.
Once the DVD is converted onto the laptop, Can I burn the film to a disc later on when I want to?

Why don't you buy a 1tb external hard drive? Cost about 60 quid now i think. Infact, some laptops now come with 1tb

As said i bought a 1TB external hard drive its linked up to my PS3, ive transferred my dvds over to it and there cut down to about 700mb using different programmes, its taking a while but it will be worth it to get rid of all the dvds :)

4.7gb usually on a dvd too
