I've had good luck with Crunchie, which extracts the MPG from the DVR-MS
then transcodes it to DivX AVI. The resulting video took about half the
space with no visible loss in quality. Look in the Download section at
www.MediaCenterStuff.com.
Depending on the burning software, you may be offered other compression
options that could further shrink the file size. You _might_ be able to get
4 hours on a dual-layer disk, and maybe more, but I'm not sure you'd like
the result...
You could also use VideoReDo Plus (www.videoredo.com) to find and delete the
commercials, which can add up to about 20 minutes per 1-hour show, depending
on the channel.
