I have a number of ballet recital videos, most running 130 or so minutes -- just longer than iDVD's limit of two hours. I've been told that I can use Toast 7 to fit these videos onto a single DVD, but I can't find any specific information on Roxio's web site or discussion groups. There is a "fit to DVD" capability with the program, but one source I found says that you first have to "burn" a dual-layer disc image with iDVD, then compress it with Toast -- that's not possible for me since I don't have a dual-layer DVD drive, so iDVD won't allow me to burn anything larger than a single layer DVD. I've also seen that Toast will create a DVD for me that will hold up to 2-1/2 hours of video, but again can't get confirmation and don't know how it would work.

Does anyone actually have the program and can tell me whether, and how, I'll be able to fit these videos onto a single DVD (and will the video quality be OK, or is it just not worth it)?
