• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I can’t fit the MPEG-2 on 4.7 DVD media. I used to be able to use Peak-3 software to compress the audio but since I got the FCP Studio 2, can’t use it any longer. Does anyone have any idea what else I can do to make it smaller?
Thank you.

You have said too little, so I'll assume...

If you are creating a DVD video disc, you use Compressor to make your MPEG-2 video and the appropriate audio files. Within Compressor you can set the compression elements for both. This assumes you are using DVD Studio Pro to create that disc.

iDVD or some other software changes the responses you'll receive.

Yes, indeed I said too little. I'm using Compressor but for some reason size of the MPEG-2 that I got exceeded the capacity of the 4.7GB disc and it's only 1 hour and 50 min. video. I did export to MPEG-2 again using 150 min. option instead of 120 min. and finally got the size that I needed; I don't know how that works.
Thank you anyway.
