Set up an iDvD project with menu and three episodes of a show. The episodes are about 200 mb each. Insert a 4g DVD+r disk and it tells me it isn't big enough. wtf? So i was thinking it must re-encode the files so length of the disk in time (120min) is the limiting factor not storage capacity. So I change the project to only two episodes (80 min total). Still not a big enough disk. It will let me burn the project with only one episode but its a real waste of a disk to do that.

Anyone see what I'm doing wrong here? It's a 17" G5 iMac running IDVD5 I believe.

I believe iDVD5 only allows a maximum duration of 60 minutes if you have 'best quality' enabled in the encoder settings. Set this to 'best performance' and you can encode up to 120 minutes.
