WHAT keeps saying that? The Replay? The DVD recorder? Transfer to a
computer (such as with DVArchive) should work, since as far is the
Replay is concerned it's just live streaming (not recording).

That must have been 6.5Gig.

First, you need the NTFS file system for such large files. Then, use a
video editor to split it into 2 parts that'll fit. I've done that once
for a long movie.

There should be no problem with that signal, once you get it to your
computer. I've copied some protected DVDs that way and it always
worked. You must have been using a (non-computer) DVD recorder. Those
are more limited in ways like that.
