How did you do that?

It said there was not enough room on the disk.

Maybe I'm missing a step. I selected the Video tab. In the options 
drawer I selected DVD-Video at the top, and in the lower "Options" 
section chose NTSC, High for Video Quality and checked the Create DVD 
Menu. I then drug (dragged?) my movie into the panel (an iMovie 
reference file), selected a frame for the button in the editing window, 
then clicked burn. After I got the message about there not being enough 
room I double checked to make sure I had selected DVD as the media type 
on the bottom-right (I had), then gave up on it for the time being.

Any suggestions to get it to work are welcome.

On another note, is it possible to get Toast to do the encoding without 
a blank DVD in the drive?
