I usualy have 22, 1 to 1.5 hour seminar videos to mail out. To save time and money, I'm considering compressing four or five of each master, so They will fit on one, single layer DVD.
I usualy send the DVDs to a PC user, he compress them and puts many on DVDs with chapters. I plan on doing the same thing!
I can create the chapters with FCPX and finalize with iDVD.

idvd will not put four hours on a disc.
What Tom said: iDVD has a max. of 120min for SL/DVD.
Plus you can not import pre-compressed material into iDVD.
Roxio Toast claims to offer 'free' settings of bit-rate.
Meanwhile people get used to HDef, DVD is SDef, and when you really manage to squeeze 4h on a SL-disk, it will look horrible! Most people have huge flat-screen TVs, all 1920x1080, and a DVD has to be re-scaled/zoomed to fit.
The DVD shown, contains seven seminars that I recorded. I sent the DVD masters to my PC using friend. He compressed my dvds, and place them one, single layer DVD. The combined length is 5.28 hours.
The next DVD contains 6.13 hours of video.
Karsten,
I agree; four hours compressed to fit on one DVD looks horrible on a large tv.
What must I do to compress 4 one hour videos so they will fit onto one DVD
