I'm creating a DVD of 16 videos approximately 4 minutes long each. I'm selecting video bitrate at 8Mbps which should be super high quality video. The bottom of the window tells me I'm using 68 out of 74 minutes. That makes me think the resulting ISO file should be close to if not more than 4GB in size (nearly filling up a standard DVD-R). But when I "burn" the project to DVD two weird things happen:
1) I have to trick DVDStyler that my videos aren't too large for a DVD by telling it that I'm burning to a DVD-9 (8.5GB) DVD. That gets rid of the "selected video files don't fit" error.
2) The resulting ISO file that is generated is WAY small, only about 330 MB rather than pushing 4GB in size like I'd expect for 68 out od 74 minutes available.
What would cause this tiny ISO file size? BTW, it's viewable, contains all the video, but as you can imagine, the video quality is quite poor, nothing like the 8Mbps rate I selected.
Please help!

Set the Video bitrate to "Auto".
Cheers.
