To test disc capacity, do the layout all the way to a PlantDirect image. If your disc is VERY full, it can fail at any of the three stages (layout, discimage, plant direct image), so make it do all three. If it completes that 100%, then it will fit on a DVD-R (and the replicated disc if you are going that far).
And if it's not encrypted, and only a single layer disc, you can just burn the ISO out of the PlantDirect directory.

If you have to encrypt the disc (for replication), the encryption takes up space on the disc, so make sure you are accounting for that... (but again, if you can get a PlantDirect image, then all is good)

Don't burn the video_ts folder for testing if an image is your final output. Burning the video_ts folder will not allow you to verify the disc image name as that is only included in the ISO output.
But if all you want is a DVD-R, just burn the ISO with another burning software (ImgBurn is free, and will even let you select the layer break. So as long as layer 0 is larger, you can burn it exactly as you've authored it. If Layer 1 is larger (parallel track path), I think the only way to burn those is with Scenarist itself as most burning programs require 0 to be larger...) That's not used very often though...
