I converted a 2hour avi file using avi2dvd. I used NuEnc to encode the file, and ended up with a 2.5gig file. Is there a way to improve the quality by allowing the output file to fit an entire 4.7gig DVD?

Another problem I have is it is a Widescreen video file, and the film encoded in a cropped full screen format. I want the disc to be 16:9 compatible even though I have a standard television, so I selected the 16:9 option in avi2dvd. Is this where my problem lies?
