Authoring a LONG DVD

[Huntr777]

Hello again to all, have another question...

I am authoring a sports DVD for a local outfit and this one times at at 148 minutes (I cut it down from 152 mins to fit it onto 1 disc). The question I have is this...when I export it with Compressor to use with DVD Studio Pro, will me adding menus and the title screen to it make it too big to fit onto 1 disc (meaning, push it over 150 minutes, and therefore will not be able to burn it onto 1 disc)? I have a feeling that this will go into 4.2 to 4.3 GB range which is getting pretty close to the edge of the disc... I am trying to cut out anything not needed on the disc right now to try and prune it down to around 140 mins but honestly I think I have cut it down as much as possible. Any help is appreciated.

Obvious solution, use a Dual layer disk. I know this may not be possible.

You must use 352x480 resolution, or switch to DVD+R DL media.
Even 140 minutes is a lot for a single layer disc, you're really compressing and compromising quality at 720x480 Full D1.
