You have several options, but they vary, depending upon which version of DVDA you're using and how you prepared your DVD.

If you've created your DVD with AVI files, you may be able to use "Fit to Disc" in the preparation step, if your DVDA version supports it.

If you've rendered to MPEG-2 from another program, such as Vegas or Screenblast Movie Studio, you may have to render again after consulting a bitrate calculator for a bitrate which will allow your program material to fit on a standard DVD blank.

You may also be able to selectively re-render parts of your program within DVDA to reduce the size.

It depends...

Is this the estimate listed in DVD Architect before preparing, or did you actually prepare the files and this is the size reported by Windows Explorer? Please note that DVDA overestimates the final disc size.

If this is the actual, final size, then try DVDShrink.
