You might try setting up a VBR - DVD profile with a base to peak bitrate of something like 3000-9000. Personally, I use 4300-9500, and I can get 3 one hour commercial free (42 minutes each after editing) shows on a DVD. Of course, the lower the bitrate you use, the more quality will suffer. Which is why you might also consider using a 1/2 DVD resolution profile of 352x480 with a lower bitrate of 2500-9000. Again, quality may suffer, but reducing resolution will help in this regard.


With double density DVD burners on the market, that might also be an option to consider. I just bought a DD DVD burner, but the cost of the media is quite prohibitive at the moment.
