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: Gerhard http://www.apple.com/ca/powermac/ 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.
