you can make a vcd.
first, since the movie is too big, split it with virtualdub

1) load the file into virtualdub or nandub

2) set both audio and video settings to "direct stream copy"

3) Put the "mark in" (a black arrow pointing left with a line at the bottom of the window)

4) Put the "mark out" at halfway(or wherever you choose. Probably half)

5) File-->save avi... And save with a name (it helps if you have part 1, or whatever number part it is)
wait...

do that with the other half, make sure you start the mark in at the same frame as where you left off.

once you have your files, use TMPGEnc to make a vcd compatible .mpg
burn with nero (DO NOT encode again with nero, as you have already done so)
play on your dvd player!
