My dad wants to buy a DVD Recorder and player, but he is wondering how you can record up to 185 minutes on one DVD disk?

Does anyone here have a DVD Recorder who may be able to help me with this question?

185 minutes is 3 hrs. and 5 minutes. He has been looking at a TV series that is now available on DVD and the first one in the series opener is 185.5 minutes. That's a bit more than 3 hrs.

I will appreciate any help that may be available.

Thank you in advance
Broken's dad:confused:

A brief look says 6 hours is possible depending on the recoding mode.
