96 minute project with menus 5.7 Gb – How to reduce?
We have a 96 minute program with extensive menus and it show at 5.7 GB
The project has one mpeg2 stream referenced various ways.
I took out animated buttons. How can I further reduce the program?
Thanks

Render to MPEG2 again (from your original source) using a lower bitrate.

If you have already made your prepared files in DVD Arch (creating the .VOB files) you can quickly use DVD Shrink to shrink the .vob files in the right proportion to fit on a dvd.
I use this if I’ve misjudged the size my mpegs, ac3’s, and animated menus take up when I prepare the dvd. Rather than re-encoding an entire mpeg… it is much quicker to simply prepare the DVD, even if it’s oversized for the dvd. By using DVD Shrink, everything will be converted to fit perfectly at 4.4 Gigs.
Enjoy!
