Generally speaking, DVDs will be divided into shorter chapters which are
individual files in the build process. Converting an hour long video file
wlll make the average machine struggle as DVD conversion will use a lot of
space as most of it's done in memory and consequently swap. Look at a DVD
as a filesystem and you'll see multiple files that are linked by index
files.
