You're trying to archive the DV file rather than making a playable DVD right?

If you have a camera you can write the DV file back out to tape via iMovie
and store the tape (they tend to last longer than DVDs anyway).

You could use iMovie to make two or three smaller movies from yor original
and then store them on separate DVDs.
