Hi appleNewbie34
And welcome to apple discussions. All of my own iDvd'09 projects to date have been well under 60 mins. so I don't know how much help I can offer you on this particular issue of a dvd that approaches nearly 2 hrs. You claim that your shorter projects have no chapter marker issues. Exactly how long /short were those initial projects and did they incorporate the same type of video? Or did the source video also change on these longer projects?
Here's what I was able to find and hopefully some of this will help but if not just come on back.
First, I'd recommend you delete all encoded assets. Let's start again (even though you may have already done this many times before).
Second I'd like you to quit iDvd.
Third, drag and drop the plist for iDvd to the trash. Looks like this:
com.apple.iDvd.plist
Fourth, Restart your mac.
Fifth, repair permissions from apple's disc utility.
Sixth, fire up iDvd Also please make sure all of your titles fall within the TV Safe area like this:

Then follow these steps to create a disc image to the desktop:

Seventh, now I'd like you to test the disc image for proper playback with apple's dvd player application as follows:
Lastly, let's assume it plays exactly as expected (chapters and all) .... Now it's time to burn the image to Dvd-r. I recommend using Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden, or Maxell. Please avoid using Memorex while we troubleshoot.
Feel free to post back with the results.
