How many hours can be recorded on a DVD plus R disc?

Answer 1

Your question begs the question, "Hours of what?" The disc can hold 4.7 GB of data. What the data is, and its Format will determine the number of playback hours that it represents. It is possible to record one movie on the disc and have it be full, or record multiple movies on the same capacity disc. This is because the software creating the disc can use compression when writing. Likewise, you could write only audio files in MP3 format to the disc and have many hours and hours of content.

In the highest quality format, a DVD will hold only one hour of video/audio content. At a lower quality, equivalent to a VHS tape, the same DVD can hold about 9 hours of video/audio content. So, the answer to your question is, between 1 and 9 hours of video/audio content, in a decent quality.
