    Answer 2 questions and I’ll see what I can do to help.
    #1. Are you using Sony Vegas Pro or Vegas Movie Studio?
    #2. How long is the video?

    …urgently:

    1.- prepare DVD with architect using original 6.2Gig files….
    2.- use DVD shrink to “fit” the prepared DVD to required size (I know many don´t like it, but it works……).
    3.- burn new DVD files with nero, etc. …done.

    kind regards

    Priya, you owe it to yourself to give DVD Shrink a try.
    I’ve used it before and found that it takes a critical eye to notice the very slight quality loss.
    If you don’t want to use it, then you have no choice but to render your project again.
    The bitrate calculator I use gives the following numbers for a 2 hr. 30 min. video.
    VBR: 6,344,000 / 3,624,000 / 2,176,000
    Due to the length of this video, I highly recommend using the 2-pass option.
    This assumes AC-3 audio.

    You can always burn it to a dual layer disc. DVD-DL will hold up to 8.5GB.
