Yeah. I heard the same story.

 

They can put super 8 films into DVDs but it can't be longer than one hour per dvd.

 

I think there are a way to put a whole movies in DVDs longer than one hour but the industries won't tell us.

 

Since DVDs are introduced in 1990s, they might use a special device to put movies

into DVDs but normal people likes us don't know.

Aren't data compressed on the disc, and the container format for storing the data may differ? Compare MPEG-1 to H.264 etc to tell the differences. That way you could put an amount of data a disc can hold - whether that is 4.7 GB - but counted in minutes it might depend on what kind of data is stored and how it was compressed.
