It is possible to fit the movie on one dvd-r. You will have to remove extras and the audio streams you dont use and such. If that still isn't enough you can either put it on a double sided dvd-r, two dvd-r, or encode the video to a lower bitrate to it will fit on one dvd-r. You can read the tutorials to to this at doom.net

Another good tutorial is at dvd2dvdr.com The Spruce up tutorial is fairly easy to follow. This is the one I use with good results.
If you need any help let me know. If I can I will
Good Luck.
