So if only 80 minutes of sound can fit on a CDR, then how can 2 hours of sound and video fit?

And if this is possible, then what's the point in DVD writers?
One word: Compression. You can fit many more songs on a CD if you compress them to mp3 for example.
It works because the TV player has a lousy resolution and you can compress the shit out of the movie. You also loose the menu's and additional languages and extras.
