Out of standard dvd bitrate??

[brtecson]

I already searched to no avail.

I authored a dvd with tmpgenc dvd author 1.5. When I clicked the "begin output" button, a prompt came up to warn me that the bitrate was out of range. My vid bitrate was 96xxkbps and my audio was 192kbps ac3. It said the max combined bitrate is 9848kbps. I clicked "ignore" and I went ahead and authored the dvd.

I would like to know if there is a way to cap the vid bitrate after it is authored. I would like to keep my audio @ 192 and I want 100% compatability. I was thinking about taking the wav file and making a lower bitrate ac3 out of it, but naahhh. I really don't want to go thru the whole avi encoding process again if possible because I dont have access to my home computer at the moment (p4 @ 4.0 ghz), all I have is my mom's computer (celeron ).

Any help is appreciated.

No, you can't do much at all after authoring.

Are you SURE your video is too high a bitrate. TDA only uses tha value in the mpeg header which is often higher than the actual bitrate. Use bitrate viewer on your source mpeg to check, it is probably OK.
