When I load video media into Toast 6 it maxes out at about 70 minutes. DVDs are supposed ot hold 120 minutes of video. It's not ym DVDs because it happens before I've put a DVD in and when I am just creating a disc image. Any ideas on what the problem is?

Toast 6 can encode up to 90 minutes of video to fit a Video DVD. The reason it isn't more is that the audio is uncompressed PCM which takes up a lot of space. iDVD can fit 2 hours of video with PCM audio by compressing the video to a lower bit rate setting, which loses picture quality.
You can get Toast 6 to put 2 hours on a single-layer DVD by also getting Jam 6. This enables the AC-3 audio encoding in Toast 6, allowing more space for video. However, a better deal is to buy Toast 7 that has a better video encoder as well as AC-3 audio. It can fit more than 3 hours to a single-layer DVD.
I'm just a fellow Toast-user so please don't blame Roxio for any misguidance I may provide. And do let me know if your issue gets solved. Cheers from Eugene, Oregon!

Just Toast 7. It's minimum system requirement is OS 10.3.9 or later and QuickTime 7. If you don't have that then you need Jam 6 to add the AC-3 capability to Toast 6.

Toast 7 requires a G4 or better machine. If you have a G3, then only Toast 6 works.
