I am buying a present of a dvd recorder/player, and would like to include blank discs which are re-recordable, have checked out some sites and they all seem to have 120 mins at the most. Can you buy any with a longer recording time. would be grateful for any help or suggestions.

This does not equate to a particular length of time on my Sony DVD recorder. This is because I can adjust the legth of recording by reducing picture quality.
Anything we want to watch on a large screen I record at about 2 hours length. Anything I plan to watch back on my little portable DVD I record at 4 hours, as I cannot see the lower quality on the small screen.
I don't know if all recorders have this adjustment possible.
If you buy some make sure you get the right sort, either DVD+RW or DVD-RW, depending on the recorder.

I have a Toshiba RD-97DKB dvd recorder. I used to use DVD+RW discs but I have found that DVD-RW appear to be more compatible. In the manual it says that these 4x discs provide 60 mins on XP, 120 on SP, 240 on LP, 360 on EP and 480 mins on SLP. For normal viewing I always use LP. Older dvd players could not play all discs but you should find that newer ones can play almost anything. Don't forget to finalise them if you wish to play them on another machine.
