Layer 0 exceeds the max layer

Question

When I try formatting a dvd I get the message: Layer 0 exceeds the max layer size allowed please choose a suitable marker location that will support this condition.
I brought in a 2 hour and 45 minute vcr video and added chapter markers. Does this simply mean the size is too big or what is it looking for?
Thank You

DUAL LAYER BREAK POINTS
Basically when burning a DL disc there needs to be something called a "break point" which is effectively a marker at what is considered a "permissable" spot for a break point. The requirements for break points have certain conditions (Layers cannot exceed certain sizes, Layer 0 needs to be larger than Layer 1 etc.) If there is not a marker that meets these conditions, then you will get various error messages.
1.) In a DL disc Layer 0 needs to be larger than Layer 1
2.) A marker needs to be placed as a Layer Break in the project to indicate the layers.
3.) You can start by assuming the marker will be right around the 1/2 point of the disc (give or take)
4.) Find the place which is about 1/2 way and put a few markers in there
5.) Build the DVD to the hard drive then select format. If there is a suitable layer break marker it will be black otherwise it will be gray.
