can you make iDVD projects longer than 60 minutes? i thought this limitation was being removed in iDVD 3???
I just got it over the weekend. iDVD 3 is an incredible piece of software, but this horrible fact still makes this program almost useless to me.
(edit)
I just noticed on Apple's site it says this "You can put up to 90 minutes of movies and thousands of digital stills on each DVD disc." I can not make iDVD make a project over 60 minutes. What's up? This is still a jip. A DVD can hold 2 hours of video. You are short changing us Apple. Where are my other 30 minutes dammit!!!

You should be able to. You were able to in iDVD2 as well. It warns you that going over 60 mins will increase compression (decrease video quality).

where do you change the settings for this? When I go to status it only says "Product Size xx:xx of 60:00"
How do I set it to 90? Does it just change to 90 if I go over the 60 minute limit?
