Well, you might try encoding it to MPG2 format first.

yep, encode to DVD compliant mpeg2 using something other than MyDvd. Then also use a different authoring program. The problem is MyDvd converts all audio to uncompressed PCM which takes up LOADS of disc space, leaving much less for the video. Look to the convert and authoring guides for help.
