Any tips? Before you ask, it's the 8 hour episode of the Royal Wedding (don't ask) that I recorded off BBC on my TiVo, then transferred to my Mac using iTiVo. So now I have this huge .mpg file (which plays fine in Boxee, BTW) that I need to burn to DVD for the person I recorded it for. A quick Google just got solutions for Windows with software I've never heard of. Hopefully this is doable on a Mac without spending an arm and a leg to get 'er done. (yeah, I know I should have recorded it in 1 hour segments originally.)
Before splitting, you should try using iMovie 9 to send to iDVD. iDVD will then tell you if you need a single layer or dual layer DVD blank.
I have no problem with 25 GB Family movies sent to iDVD and burning them.
