Vegas MS 4.0 & 1+ Hour Project

I have been a long time VideoFactory user and have recently upgraded to Vegas Movie Studio 4.0 with DVD Architect 2.0.

My first project in trying to burn a DVD is my wife's cousin's wedding. The project has ended up at 1 hour and 40 minutes. I have two simple menus.
DVD Architect is telling me the project is too long. I have seen the bit rate charts in other forums, but cannot find where to alter the bit rates in Vega Movie Studio 4.0.

Help? In advance, thanks for the expert insight!
Thanks,
Pick

This is really a question for the Vegas Movie Studio forum, but the short answer is, you can't adjust bitrate in Vegas Movie Studio. What I'd do is render the file out as an avi file, and let DVDArchitect Studio handle it for you. It will automatically set the bitrate for the length of video you have.
Vegas Movie Studio has several limitations on it that set it apart from the more professional Vegas package.

Another alternative is to look at the video. Is there anything that could (maybe should) be cut out? e.g. people eating? any panning you can cut out?
Who is the video for? Maybe it could be split over 2 discs then you can add extras sucj\h as video take outs, photo slide shows, etc.

too many wedding videos tend to include too many SFX, transitions and un needed video sections.

I would suggest NOT allowing the DVD architect to resample, as the final render may not be a good quality. It is better to have less video but at a high quality. e,g. Quality -NOT quantity!
