DVD5 is single layered and DVD9 is double layered, the storage capacities of the two are very different: DVD-5 (Single layer) disk is often called 4.7 GB Media while DVD9 (Double layer) 8.5 GB Media.

1. Change the Output to DVD5 in Advanced Settings window by clicking on the wrench button to bring up the box.

Yes, you  can. There are two options to do that:

1. Blu-ray Copy - Main Movie mode: Choose DVD/Blu-ray writer as Target, set the Output as BD5 or BD9 in the Advanced Settings window.

Choose "BD5", DVDFab will compress the movie to make it fit on one BD5/DVD5 disc;
Choose "BD9", DVDFab will compress the movie to BD9/DVD9 disc.

Note: The created DVD disc cannot play on standalone DVD player, since Blu-ray Copy won't transfer Blu-ray format  to DVD standard,  files on this burnt DVD disc are still in .m2ts format.

2. Blu-ray to DVD Converter: This option will generate a DVD-video disc in standard DVD format, which can play well on standalone DVD players.

You can also format the HDD at Settings>Disk Manager.
