I have a few videos that i will like to make into a DVD. Most of them are around 2 hours long and weni went to make a DVD out of them using iDVD it said the files are too big so i bought Popcorn in order to compress the files but i dont know how to and i dont think the files are Video_TS they are all in .mp4 files. Can someone please help me and explain what i am soposed to do.

Radweck welcome to macosx.com

Please apologize me.. I never use iDVD..I use Toast7 which is able to re-encode mpeg4 file to fit in a single DVD-R (Toast 7 has the Popcorn compression utility)

But, if you export your iDVD project as a DVD image - you know the image which is ready to be burned by the Finder if the size is under a 4.7GB limit- then drag-n-drop this image to Popcorn to let Popcorn compress the video, is this work ?

And why not, if your PopCorn is very freshly bought, call Roxio and see with them if you can jump to Toast 7 at a very small update price
