file too big for dvd

i capture my movie and edit it in mm2,saving it as a
high quality video then when i am finished i save it to
my computer as a dv-avi file and then when i go to my
dvd deluxe 5 which i just purchased it cannot burn it to
dvd because it is too big. it is a 2 hour movie of the
kids when they were little. Should i only do an hour on
one dvd or is their a way to do it so the whole thing
will fit on help i'm not a computer wiz i'm just a
beginner

You can resave the movie as High Quality .WMV from within
Movie Maker. This should cut down on the file size quite
a bit.

My DVD can handle .wmv files and the slight loss in
quality is almost unoticable.
