using iDVD you can get up to 90 minutes on a DVD, so your 80 minute project is okay.

It depends on which program you use. iDVD may have a 90 min limit, but there's no limit on the DVD itself. I just finished a disc with 10 hours of video.

It's VCD quality (slightly better than VHS tape), so it's very watchable for my needs.
