I've got a macOS laptop and I'm attempting to convert old VHS tapes to playable DVDs. I convert the VHS tapes to .mp4 format using OBS and then attempt to burn the .mp4 files to playable DVDs using the Burn app. The Burn app automatically prompts me to convert to .mpg and it does this conversion for me. That's fine for a few VHS tapes that aren't too long however some are 2+ hours and as a result, the .mp4 files are more than 8GBs which when converted to .mpg, they're greater than the space on a DVD so I'm not able to burn them. Any ideas how to solve this issue so that I can convert the longer VHS tapes to playable DVDs?

My bad. I misread. Try Handbrake and come up with a decent ratio of quality versus size. It'll also do the conversion for you so you just rip the VHS take the output and open it in Handbrake then use Handbrake to convert it to the correct size so that it'll fit on a DVD.

It's unlikely you will (or at least whilst maintaining a decent quality).
Original mastered DVDs were almost always Dual Layer in order to fit 90-120 minutes of video at an acceptable quality (with an AC-3 or similar surround sound track)
