I have video clips created in FCP completed and ready for building a DVD with a deadline too soon to recompress them in Compressor. Is there anyway to squeeze them onto a DVD in DVD Studio Pro and still make the 4.7 max size?
If so, how or where can I get directions? I am using FCP 5.0.4 & DVD Studio Pro 4.0.3 on a Powerbook G4 17" laptop.

No, but I don't need to squeeze just a little bit. My total file list is sized at 6.9 GB----so I need quite a bit of compression. There are DVD recorders that can make the files fit the DVD space. That is what I am looking for.
It takes days to output with Compressor and I have 15 videos. That would take me 10 days and a guess of size when I output again.

going to ac3 audio will do more then a little bit but probably not enough.
There are bitrate calc on the internet that will tell you what to set the Bitrate to BEFORE you start encoding. There is no way that encoding should take days no matter how much video you have on a single DVD unless you are encoding on an old G4.

I don't know what TRT is?
(a 7-minute piece takes 14 hours in double pass setting on an old Powerbook G4 from 2003 pulling the data from an external drive)
