That's a loaded question. You can narrow it by specifying what recording method, encoding method, equipment being used, etc. Do you want playback on your set top box DVD player?

120 minutes of MPEG-2 at 720 X 576 resolution can be fitted on a DVD-R.

I can't remember, but with a DVD+RW, you can fit 240 compressed minutes.

DVD+R is also 4 hours
