Ninety minutes of DV AVI should be more like 18GB. In any case, DV AVI does not play on a DVD, MPEG video does. And exporting to MPEG2-DVD is the way to get a smaller file that fits on a DVD.
If you are using Encore, just export to a DV AVI and let Encore transcode it to just small enough to fit. In fact, most DVD authoring programs can probably do that for you.
Or, with practice, you can get it to under 4.3 GB (leaves room for overhead) by exporting to MPEG2-DVD from Premiere Pro using a 2 pass VBR using a target of about 6 with a max of 8 and a minimum of 4.
