Ho!

Theoretically there's no specific limit on the length of the film to put on 1 DVD-R. Logically, as films get longer they also increase in file size and have then to be compressed more and more. Normally you'll have good results up to 120-130 minutes, but it all depends on the source material...

I'd say, try the demo version that let's you encode 30 minutes. If the result fits your needs everythings OK and you can get the full version to back up the whole film.
Strip not needed language streams to save bitrate for the video!
