a DVD does not handle 1080, max 720x480/576 depending on NTSC/PAL

a DVD can handle max 4.7 gb

but: a good authoring program re-encodes the file in size and maximum quality to fit exactly on one DVD

edit: the file is also re-encoded into MPEG2 since that is the native codec for DVDs - at a bitrate of max 8000 kbit/s

and therefore inferior in quality by nature

edit 2: you need to burn a blu ray if you want to keep the quality
