Using DVD Architect Studio with Speededit

[tim_mccrory]

Can anyone tell me the best way to use DVD Architect Studio with Speededit? I saved my project as an mpeg-2 file. The content is only 100 minutes, but the file size exceeds the 4.7 Gig maximum (147%) for a standard DVD. I am not able to use the fit disk feature on DVD Architect. I tried mpeg-1; it fits the disk, but the quality is unacceptable. How can I compress my mpeg-2 files further?

Use tmpg to compress your files well. We use it all the time, and it allows you to adjust your quality/size settings in order to fit the audio and video onto your DVD while preserving as much quality as possible.

What is tmpg? Can you be more specific?

The tmpg software may be a good solution, but it produces a separate audio and video file (.m2v, .wav). Anyway to make it one single A/V file as a .m2p

Use their version Xrpess 4 and choose AC3 as the audio format. Xpress 4 is also faster and has more option.
Also, do a save as .avi out of SE and do a render of the audio separate. Use a 16-bit, 48kHz, stereo WAV. Load these separately into Xpress 4 to create the MPEG2 file. Again, choose AC3 as the audio format for Xpress 4 to embed into the MPEG2 file.

Take care,
