    I have TV Season which is 4620 MB and it doesn't let me record it.
    I found an option which says
    Enable DVD overburn
    Maximum DVD size (a little bar where i can put in number and it's set for 4500MB )

    Now I just got the burner it's BENQ Lightscribe
    I looked on the forums but couldn't find answer.
    Can I overburn 120 MB on DVD disck ?

    Unless I'm mistaken, overburn doesnt make a file smaller to fit on a disc, it makes a disc that is rated at one speed burn at another. In the end you need to get that TV season below 4500MB (4.5GB) most people agree on 4300(4.3) to ensure best results. Read about DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter around here and find whats best for you.

    @sumik - actually, it's highly recommended to underburn on DVD's, i've not come across one single person that's had a successful overburn. ie 4300MB instead of the disc's capacity of say 4465MB. with cd's i've done it, with DVD's you'll be lucky to consistently get good results burning to the outer edge of top notch dvd media, never mind trying to go past the outer edge. Search out the amazing DVD Shrink, as Deadrum33 suggested..
