I want to add 6 videos to a dvd-r (4.7gb) and the total combined size of all 6 is 2.16gb. But when I add them to dvd architect it says I'm using 8.3gb! why?
Yes it does over estimate but not usually by that amount. My experience is around 10%. Check in File/Optimize Disc to see if your files are maybe going to be recompressed?

Is 4 mbps a good bitrate for 740x480 16:9? because that's what it set it to when I optimized it. also what does the "speed" setting do in the set burn parameters window? it's set to 24.0x right now
4 mbps is low. 6 - 8 would be better. The figure is set by the Projects properties so that's where you change it. But you should be avoiding recompression by feeding DVDA compliant files. What are your six source files?
