After converting an AVI file (created by Windows Movie Maker) to MPEG2 using Blaze Media Pro converter to get the fil in the PAL format to burn on a DVD using TMPGEnc DVD Author I get an message that the combined bitrate is to high (9992 kbps instead of the maximum 9848 kbps). Any suggestion what might be wrong since I can't find any options to reduce the bitrate enogh to get below 9848 without totaly destroying the videoquality. Perhaps Blaze Media Pro isn't a suitable program to convert to MPEG2 or I should start of in Windows Movie Maker with another format instead of AVI...?
 
You always want to import a dv-avi file into your dvd authoring app.
How long is your movie? If you don't have ac-3 audio encoding it needs to be
max 1 1/2 hours. closer to one hour is better. I have not heard of the app
you have used, so don't know how to comment on it's result. If you set the
bitrates yourself, remember to add the audio and video together to get the
max, also bear in mind, most home dvd players will play ones over 8000k.
See here and maybe use tmpgenc to get your mpeg2, it does a great job, but
slow.
