I'm still learning the intricacies of converting my DV to MPEG 1 and 2. Had a question as to the best way to drop the bitrate in Vegas 3.0. I went into the template and dropped the video quality from 15 to 3 and saved only a few hundred K for my efforts.

I have a 2.5 hour video clip I'd like to drop onto a DVD for duplication to VHS eventually. Am I headed in the right direction, or is there another setting I need to look at?
