I created a dar project with sucsess...and have to rearrange just the end of it... actually making it shorter.... and redo the credits...
I rerender my HD in mpg the same way as the first project.... with the changes
Building over the first project... using the same pages... and scene selection... but deleted the last page and added a scene selection on the new last page... the project that started with 2.10 GB... suddenly becomes 6.14GB!!
Can't I just reuse the same project and make changes? or do I have to rebuild a whole new project.....?
It seems that the media has almost tripled.......The new project media ends with the changes.... and is now 45mn compare to 1h ....

First, save the project, close it, and reopen it to see if DVDA adjusts that estimate.

If that doesn't help, I'm guessing something's left over from the original project that doesn't need to be there.

Go to File > Optimize DVD. Are there more items than there should be? Is DVD Architect planning to recompress anything that you don't want it to?

Another cause is if you've used a piece of media more than once and changed some but not all of those copies -- added subtitles, audio tracks, etc.
