PAL to NTSC

Happy New Year everyone! Now, back to work :(

I produced a DVD tutorial a while ago and I have just now added some additional information, and streamlined the Menu in DVDA.

Now, the project is PAL and the finalised DVD comes in at about 4.6Gb, at 8Mbps. When rendering to NTSC however, I end up with a file size of around 6.2Gb. I don't really understand the whys of this but am interested to know if rendering at 5.5Mbps (to fit on the disc) is a noticable drop in quality?

What rate do most folks run their end product out at?

Okay, so I have just viewed a finalised NTSC disc, that was output at 5.5Mbps.

The picture seems to be a bit "wavy" although I'm not sure whether that is simply because it is a NTSC to PAL conversion on my telly?
