All the stand-alone DVD recorders I've run across have a 6 hour mode, so try
it. You don't have anything to lose.
Consider this: A 2 hours videotape can be successfully copied onto a DVD in
the 2 hour mode, so why shouldn't a 6 hour tape copy just as well to a 6
hour DVD? (Yes, I know the logic is faulty, but it's certainly worth a
try.)
