DVD MPEG2

Plamen Petrov · May 11th, 2008, 10:54 AM

Hi everybody!
I am working on approx. 2 hours video which I have to render out to DVD MPEG2. So, would anybody tell me how to calculate the bitrate in Sony Vegas settings, so that to fit to one 4.70GB DVDisc? Especially I am confused about what values to enter for maximum, normal and minimum bitrate when using VBR. Any ideas?

I do not use Vegas, so there may be another method... Search 'Bit Rate Calculator" on Google, you will find lots of free appications.
