Try this:

and adjust the value according to the final size result you want. Be aware that going too small might severely limit your btrate and resulting quality. It can also push you into half D1 resolution that can cause display problems with widescreen sources.

Do "Start->Run", type regedit and then click "OK".

Goto HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Badger I.T.\SVCD2DVD 2.0 and add a string value called DVDSIZESAFTYMARGIN :



Give this string a value in MB which is the safety margin for DVD5 capacity. i.e a value of 200 will mean that the resultant DVD should be 200MB under 4.37GB.
