please please help ASAP– mpegs too large must burn this dvd

First, use A.Pack (an application that should be on your machine) to turn those AIFF files into AC3 files. That will save some space.

Then try doing a 2-pass VBR at:
4.5 and 6

See if those two things get you closer. If not, adjust the numbers slightly and try again. It’s all trial-and-error with this kind of stuff.

If you use Compressor, I’m pretty sure that will give you an estimated File Size when you set up an MPEG-2 to be created.

Why can’t you use the A. Pack? It comes with DVD Studio Pro 2 and 3 and is highly recommended for DVD’s. If you create .AC3 audio file, it’s usually about 1/4 the size of an AIFF file.
