Does the 2.4Ghz MacBook Pro (December 2007) have DL burning capabilities?

Question

Hey folks- I have the above MB Pro (running iLife 08, using iMovie 6 HD as I didn't like iMovie 08 with 2GB and on OSX 10.4.11) and have a 146 minute long film which I need to burn to DVD.
Ideally, of course, I'd like it to be on a single disk and I understand I have two options:
1. reduce project LENGTH or use Roxio Toast to (presumably) reduce quality of project, or-
2. use DL DVDs to use double layers to get nearly 240 minutes on a single disk.
Pitfalls, with 1. is that quality is compromised and with 2. that not all "players" (and yep- gifting these to folk with regular DVD players so I presume they might NOT be able to use them?) read them. Anything else I need to know?
IS there a work-around to preserve the quality and STILL have it on a more "box-standard" but SINGLE DVD?
Please and thank you!

Answer 1

You can purchase VisualHub and fit up to 18 hours of video on a DVD.
VisualHub is at: http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/
Of course, if you have videos that total 18 hours, you are going to have really low quality videos in the finalized DVD. So the more video you have, the lower the quality.
But with your 146 minutes of video (almost three hours), you shouldn't see much quality change if you use VisualHub.
