Default Creating a DVD/Movie - Need help

Not sure if this is the right spot to post...hope it is

So I recorded a friends wedding, edited in Adobe Premiere Pro and exported it to a mp4 file. The file is 2.7GB at 720p. I then opened up "Corel DVD Movie Factory 7" to create a menu screen etc but when I bring in the movie file (2.7GB) its telling me that the file is 4.9GB and too big for a DVD. I even erased the menu with song and its still at 4.9GB
Any ideas?

Also, what do you / have you guys used to make DVDs with menus etc

Thanks

BTW it was shot with my 60D

This will solve your problem:

DVDs are standard definition only, and due to that a 720p file is wholly unnecessary. You should export from Premiere in a standard def file. (480p)

That's the first step, then come back if there are more issues.
