Creating a DVD Image from a 6+GB MPEG2 file

[mephoneno]

I have a 3 hour movie recorded via ADS Instant DVD to a 6+GB mpeg2 file. I assumed that I could create a DVD disc image with CaptyDVD, then reduce the size of the files using DVD2one and burn on a 4.7GB disc.
Unfortunately, CaptyDVD won't even play with the file because of the size. It gives me an error message.

I'm a DVD StudioPro novice and it seems that DVD Studio Pro expects me to demux the file before encoding. I'd like a simpler solution. CaptyDVD accepts muxed MPEG2 files and makes it easy to create menus and buttons. I'd like to do that if possible.

What about Toast 6 Titanium?
Will Toast automatically encode the file to fit on a 4.7GB disc or will it leave the file size the same? (DVD Studio Pro has an option for an 8+GB output disc.)

I can't get the Toast software to give me any parameters regarding output size or buttons or menus. The documentation seems to be for a previous version and illustrates menu creating tabs that my version doesn't have (Toast 6 - OSXPanther)
Any suggestions as to how I can get this file onto a disc and into a DVD player?

Any Info appreciated...

Sizzle to make a disc image, then rip from the image and use DVD2OneX from there.

thats always an option..

however toast DOES NOT resize it automatically to 4.4 gigs. if it did how swee would that be!

however what you need to do is use toast, but rather than burning it to a disk (because its too big) save the file as a disk image. this image you can then mount and run through dvd2one.

make since?

Thargok and Galactica --

Thanks for your replies. I got ahold of Sizzle and had a ball adding my menus. I'm doing this proj piecemeal as I'm using my cousin's G4 desktop as I haven't got a DVD burner, so the file still needs to be reduced to 4.4GB.
I have a 6GB disc image that plays, when mounted, so I'll try running that through DVD2one to reduce the size.

As I mentioned, I couldn't get Toast 6.0.3 to let me create any menus for the file...and Sizzle was fast and easy.

Thanks again!
