In iDVD3, I've tried to lower the bit rate for a 90+ minute movie and 60+
minute movie rate to create an "slightly over the limit" movie, but cannot
get it to encode at the rate that I specified.  I tried various methods
and could not get it to work.

As Erica stated, you can alter the bit rate for a movie that is less than
60 minutes or less than 90 minutes, but not when you go above iDVD's
limit.  It always defaults to the "less than 60/90 minute movie".

I have tried for hours and days without success... perhaps I will have to
move up to DVDSP2 to create a 90+ minute DVD.

Any other more positive experiences with exceeding iDVD3's time limit?
