According to the Apple site it is possible to make 3 hour DVDs with a
dual layer drive and iDVD. Quoted straight from their site:

Double-layer Drive
The 16x SuperDrive built into every dual-processor Power Mac G5 now
supports double-layer (DVD+R DL) discs. While single-layer DVD-R discs
hold up to 4.7GB of data, double-layer discs have two layers of data,
allowing the SuperDrive laser to read and write on either layer, almost
doubling the storage to 8.5GB. Using iDVD — included on every Power Mac
G5 — or DVD Studio Pro, you can author discs with over three hours of
MPEG-2 video on one DVD+R DL disc. If you work with high-definition
video, use the SuperDrive to burn double-layer discs with more room for
high-bit-rate H.264 video.
