So I wanted to give a friend an old series on DVD. I thought since I have the series ISOs I can just burn them to disc. BUT the blank DVDs I have are 4GB DVDs and the ISOs are 8GB each. Now I have some spare BDs but apparently the work involved in migrating DVD ISOs to BD is not worth it. Is there no way I can fix this without having to search for higher capacity DVDs?

Do they need to play on a set top DVD player? If they are going to be played on a computer, you can reencode to a modern codec and burn them as data DVDs.

None of her computers have optical drives unfortunately, she just has the home theater system from 15 years ago

Connect her computer to the theater system or TV. Give thumb drive.

Alternatively, get am HDMI to rca output adapter if things are real bad for the theater system
