I used the step by step instructions called "how do i use dvd decrypter to "rip" the files to my hard drive?" and that worked great, I was able to burn the dvds perfectly, but my computer uses the dvd+R DL blank dvds which allows me to put 2 movies onto one disc but I have no idea how to do that...... doing the single movie on one disc worked great but I hate wasting the space that is left over ! Please help, these blank dvds are 30 dollars for 3 of them ! If I can get two movies on one dvd that would be great !! Thanks !

Author the movies in something like DVDLab. -
If you're fitting 2 movies onto a DL disc, then they must be one or combination of:- single layer originals
- you're only ripping the movie (and maybe menu)
- shrinking them to fit
With DL discs 10 times the price of single layer discs, your plan to put 2 movies per DL disc seems an expensive exercise (5x cost excluding coasters) to simply half the number of backup discs you end up with.
Seems better (and quicker/less work) to have each movie on it's own $1 disc. But that's just my view (regardless yours is still respected).Comment

I would love to be able to put the movies onto a 1$ disc but my computer will ONLY use the DL blank discs! If you know a way to do it on a regular disc please let me know !!

You are apparently misunderstanding something. ANY DVD burner that will burn Double Layer blanks will also burn Single Layer blanks.
In order to copy a double layer commercial DVD that you own to a single layer blank DVD, you'll have to use a program such as (freeware) DVD Shrink to compress...Comment

the dvd's that Im copying onto the blank disc aren't double layer, the blank dvd's that Im using to put the movie onto are double layer, I use dvd shrink and dvd decrypter. I tried burning a movie onto a regular dvd + r single layer disc and it wouldnt work....Comment
