This is the format of disk so you can not change with any application only thing you can do is get that required dvd disk from store and burn it...
DVD-5 has 4.37GB capacity that can holds around 4 700 000 000 bytes and it is Single Sided Single Layered.

DVD-10 has 8.75GB capacity which can hold 9 400 000 000 bytes this is Double Sided Single Layered.

DVD-9 has 7.95 GB capacity this can holds around 8 540 000 000 bytes this is Single Sided Dual Layered.

DVD-18 has 15.9 GB capacity which can holds around 17 080 000 000 bytes it is Double Sided Dual Layered.

DVD-9 discs are one-sided, double layer recordable DVDs with a capacity of 8.5GB. The numbering after DVDs can be approximated to the capacity of the discs. For example DVD-5 discs can hold 4.7GB on a one-sided, single layer disc and DVD-18 can hold 17.4GB on a dual-side, dual-layer disc.

In double layer (also referred to as dual layer) DVD-9 discs, two layers of standard DVD-5 are joined together with a transparent spacer and a thin reflector between the two. The bottom layer is read and written to in exactly the same manner as DVD-5. Reading and writing to the second layer is achieved by the laser focusing a fraction of a millimeter beyond the first recording layer.
