You need to render to avi and then take that to dvd. In dvd archetect
select optimise and reduce the bitrate untill it fits. The default is 8000 so I'm sure you could go smaller. The 6.8 gig is avi right?
How long is the movie?

It will fit easy !
After it's been converted to mpeg 2 it will
be way smaller.
