Why are you limiting your search to Los Angeles?? You are quite vague on the details, but there are hundreds of editors for hire around the world, and we can transfer files via the Internet.

Can you send the DAR file to me- no media is needed. I do multipage DVD menus all the time.

I tested the Pazera converter against the Moyea program, and the Pazera converter output is noticeably worse.
You get what you pay for. Fortunately Moyea software is reasonably inexpensive.

As I said, there’s too many variables for *any* program to accurately predetermine file size. DVDA just happens to be more conservative than most. If your video has a lot of motion between i-frames, then there’s more data that the encoder has to account for than if there are few changes from i-frame to the next i-frame. Even the parameters that you give the encoder will affect the encoded file size. And that’s just the main media. Add to that motion menus, static menus? text-only menus? how many? transition menus? extras file? stop page? second audio track? subtitles? All of these are in the final disc image, and there is simply NO way that a bit-rate calculator can account for all of these variables without actually encoding the file.
That is why it’s called an estimate.

Calculating bit rate is an imprecise science because the calculators can only estimate the final file size. The amount of compression depends on too many variables to be calculable to an exact value.
4 hours of edited MP4 source recompressed to a DVD-5 is going to look like…..
But, you might try using dvdshrink: https://www.dvdshrink.org/.

Are these black frames on the timeline??
Make sure that you have the latest drivers for your video card.

If the VLC player can’t play your media, then there’s something wrong with the file. Like you, it is my default player for everything.

You could use ‘track motion’ to resize every event on the track to fit in the title-safe area.

Are you looking at title-safe or action-safe? Typically 15% and 10% respectively.

OK, I’ve been shooting for ten years, and “bullet time” is a term I’ve never heard. What does it mean?
