DVDA3 - Movie is too big

I have a question on DVDA3 here. As I just rendered a movie from Vegas 6 (1 h 30 m - 3.9 GB), I want to fit that into a single layer DVD. In my mind I still have a lot of space to play around. My menu, opening sequence and everything else only make up around 13.5 MB, but as soon as I add the mpeg file into DVDA, the Disc space used indicator turns to red and showing 4.5 GB, and I can't make the DVD because I get this error message "There is not enough space in the temporary files folder for preparing the DVD."

I checked my directory, I still have around 11GB. How much space do I need in the temporary folder? And how come adding around 4GB mpeg file to the DVDA project cause another 500MB jump to the space used? Is this normal? Even then, I thought 4.5 GB, since it's still 96% of 4.7 GB will fit in one disc? Or there's no other way other than re-rendering with lower bitrate? Please advise.


Thanks!

OK never mind, I didn't realize it's using another temp folder for its scratch space on the Temp dir on my C drive, so I just deleted the whole old projects there and it stops giving me error message now.
