    Use Compressor. Use a very low bit rate. Around 2.5.

    Why only a single layer? your quality will be way down at that low data rate.
    Go double layer.

    Cheers

    Steve and Alexander, many thanks for your response. I will try both suggestions. Can our 5 year old DVD burner that came with our Mac Pro handle a Dual layer DVD burn?

    On your machine, look in About this Mac>System Report>Hardware>Disc burning>DVD Write, that will show you wether it is capable.
    For double layer on the Mac in DVDSP, the DVD+RDL discs work best.

    Cheers
