Slow render and huge MPG using DVDprep

I posted this in the Vegas scripting forum also.

I just learned that it is best to render Audio and video separately when preparing to move to DVDA. I got satisfactory results using render as MPG2 with the "default template" which does both audio and video in 1 file. For a 40 minute project it would take about 2 hours to render and yield a 1.2 GIG Mpg.

I tried using DVDprep yesterday and it took 3 hours and yielded a 2.2 MPG. I won't be able to fit many projects on 1 DVD at this rate. Is there an explanation? Are the settings higher in DVDprep? Also I didn't see a place to set the setting in DVDprep nor could I even see what they are set at.

Workflow details are a bit sketchy. Assuming that you're using DVDA2 or 3, you render video to MPEG2 and audio to AC-3 (separate renders). Opening DVDA you load these rendered files. Your description suggests that you used DVDA to render the avi files again.
