MPEG file too large for DVD?

[dvdrhelpbs]

Hi,
I would search for this, but I can't seem to find the correct keyword.
I downloaded some movies from Archive.org, and many of them won't burn (I'm using Sonic MyDVD). This movie (Hercules)
http://www.archive.org/movies/details-db.php?collection=feature_films&collectionid=hercules
for example: the MPEG2 file is 3.8GB. When I import the movie, I can make the menu, etc., but it won't burn because Sonic thinks the file is too big for the disc. Not sure what to do. Is it the program (Sonic) that's to blame?
Thanks for your help.

You can go ahead and create the DVD folder. Then use DVDshrink to compress it.

Sonic may want to reconvert the video or reconvert the audio to wav/pcm. Try change to mpa/mp2 or ac3 audio if possible(much smaller than wav).

or try some other authoring tool like tmpgenc dvd author.
