I downloaded the media creation tool for 20H2 Windows 10 version. Requested 64 bit version ONLY.
ISO file is over 4.7GB, does not fit on DVD. What should I do? I DO NOT want to mess with dual layer,
blue ray, or flash drives. Never had this problem before, seems like a glitch in the tool perhaps,
it does not compress the file properly?

This one works! Just burned it to DVD. So, this should resolve all the media format woes posted here? :)

Be sure to choose the second option to create media installation, unless you want to update directly.
Since what you're saying is true, it would be REALLY NICE IF YOU UPDATE YOUR WEBPAGE

and also the Media Creation Tool to warn us to not bother with conventional DVDs, and state clearly that a USB is the preferred device, or else a dual-layer DVD, etc.

We are users here and not Microsoft employees, so it is not our website.
There are instructions on the website about the ISO may be larger than a single layer DVD.

Windows installation images should literally contain NOTHING that isn't absolutely required justto get a minimally-functional version of Windows up and running. After with, it can then obtain any additional optional/superfluous resources itself either from secondary media, or the cloud. I guarantee that the bare-minimum Windows installation files will fit on a normal DVD, so the problem here is abso-effing-lutely due to MS arrogantly force-feeding extraneous **** into the installation image and they really need to get their heads out of their asses, lose all the effing fat, and get back to freaking basics FFS!
Why all this garbage about DVD when all the modern laptops do not have a drive.
USB stick that is larger than needed is much cheaper than an external DVD.
Amazon has a pair if 32GB sticks for$11.99 + shipping.
