[MacDV] A Simple 115 Minute Presentation

Recently I shot 115 minutes of a presentation on MiniDV tape and did
minor editing in iMovie HD. I figured burning onto a 2 hr DVD would be
easy -- wrong!!! 

I tried using iDVD, but it wanted me to use Themes and it included
annoying music and all I wanted was a straight-forward copy of the 115
minutes that would play incommon DVD players. 

I tried using Toast, but it said there wasn't enough space on the DVD.

I went to Apple Discussions and some suggested ways to defeat all the
fru-fru in iDVD, others suggested that I use Jam in conjunction with
Toast to get the job done, some wanted me to use QT, but all I wanted
was a DVD that anyone could play in a common DVD player. Some said to
"export" out of iMovie, but there was no "export" function that I could
find. Some didn't agree with each other.

Any other ideas? 

I have DVD2oneX and Popcorn. I may have to split the 115 minutes in two
and use
Toast to burn two DVDs.
