    Abby,

    in Compressor select the DVD folder under Apple Groups. There a a number of options dealing with total project length (Best for 90 minutes for example). Drag the entire folder — audio and video setting — onto your sequence in the holding window. Make sure that your burning disk is big enough to hold all the media you need for the DVD. (If your sequence is super long, like 3 hours or something, you’ll probably need to export in 2 pieces using in/out points or use a dual layer.) The setting will create files that can be taken into DVD studio where you can build your menus, etc. For HD disks you’ll probably want to select the H.264 setting.
