Two separate mpgs and bitrates on the same DVD.

We did a DVD with a 1 minute video.
First DVD had one video rendered at Var. 2 pass 3.8 max 3.4 average and 3.0 for Min.
Second time the same video was rendered at 6mbs constant.
Now these two videos(same) were put on one DVD with a button for each. They both looked the same. the 6mbs looked like the 3mbs one.

Now the 2nd and third DVD were made with one video each, now you can tell that the 6mbs was indeed a nice picture, and the 3mbs was indeed less in quality.

My question is, does this mean you can't have 2 different bitrate videos on 1 DVD?

A DVD can contain multiple MPEGs, each with different bitrates.

Well this doesn't make sense with what happened.

Did DVDA recompress your video for some reason? If you go to the optimize screen when you're getting ready to build the project, it will tell you if it's going to re-compress.
