File size for sports Video

I have edited a football game video shot on Mini DV in FCP 4. When I export the final 1:16:00 sequence as a QuickTime movie and then drag it into Toast 6 Titanium, Toast tells me that I need 4.5 gigs and the Sony DVD+R disc only has 4.0 gigs available. Should the file be this large? I have heard that you can fit 2 hours of video on a single layer DVD. Is that True? The sequence has a lot of cross-dissolves and two titles.
I have tried exporting to Compressor 1, but when I drag the m2v file into Toast, it doesn?t ask me to locate the Audio. When I try to drag in the .aiff file, Toast tells me that it cannot place it because it does not recognize the file format. Mac doesn?t recognize .aiff? I fear I have messed something up good. Any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated.

You need to shrink the .mov in Compressor to about 3.5 MB

Then it might work okay. I don't anything about the other software you're using.

Thanks filmman,

I got the m2v compressed to 2.7 gigs and the .aiff to 206.4 mb. For some reason Toast recognized them both this time, but still told me that I needed 4 gigs and the disk had 4 gigs available. Toast said that I should free up some space. It seems to me that adding the 2 together keeps the file under 3 gigs. I guess I should just upgrade to DVD SP4 and get rid of Toast. I'm waiting to see if it completes the burn now.
