Sonic myDVD has 3 different options when taking in video Good, better and Best. When I encoded my 1 hour movie at the Best setting, my mpeg file was 4.3. But I couldn't use it because with the motion menus I included in the video it made the whole project 5.2gb. When I re-encoded it again at the Better setting, my video was now under 2gb. I have now lost alot of the quailty of the picture. Can I choose my own bit rate on sonic mydvd?

I would use another program to encode my video at a higher bit rate but,
you can only create chapter points manualy while encoding the video going through sonic mydvd. I cannot create chapter points after the video is encoded by sonic mydvd.
