I guess the good news is that at least there is a reason they did what they did.
The bad news is that I think there still should be an option to not mess with the video. You can add a warning if you want, but I still think that should be an option.
I was able to burn the videos on a couple other programs with the low quality. They worked on my dvd player.
If anyone does know of, or find a way to keep your videos untouched for disc creation, I would appreciate a response.
Also, thanks for all the help from everyone.

The second video is the video that I ripped from the original DVD. It is the source.
The first video is the compressed very low quality video that I want to put onto a DVD.
I know that it is low quality and do NOT want DVD quality. However, when I try to make a DVD, then it doubles the size of all of my videos.
The problem is that PD decides I do not want what I said I want and is upconverting (this is the part that I am assuming) the videos.
Below is the data for the double sized output video.
The only things that stand out to me are the Bits/Pixel*Frame are tripled and the Bit rate is doubled.
This leads me conclude that it is forcefully upconverting my video.

I know that this isn't a common thing to do (to drastically cut vid quality), but my major concern is that there is no option in Create Disc that will just leave my video alone. As I said earlier, I believe that it is trying to upconvert my video because it is so low quality.
I would think that there should always be an option to leave a video as is when creating a disc. There are people out there (maybe I am not even one of them) that know what they want, and PD should leave those people alone and not second guess and forcibly change their work. If this is what is happening, this would be a great case of software making things "too easy." Everything shouldn't be wizards and the like.
I will be gone for a few days, but look forward to hearing your response(s).
Again, I appreciate the help.

Capture 3 shows that I have it on LP.
1 Vid is one video with the size about double the video size.
3 Vid is 3 videos with the size about double all three of them.
I have tried this with 14 different videos, and get the same results every time.
These videos are all "DVD" MPG2 formats.
How can I get it to just leave them alone and put them on there. My guess is that it is trying to upconvert them.
I do appreciate the response too!

I definitely think they could have done much better with the stills, but I only use it as a camera in a pinch, so something is better than nothing.
But, I have a good camera that takes beautiful photos, so I am probably a bit biased.
With good lighting, and a tripod, you definitely get some absolutely gorgeous vids. Don't forget to turn Image Stabilization OFF when you are using your tripod.
Good luck.

Could someone please explain this to me.
I add one 600 MB video to a DVD. When I go to create disk and put a menu on it, I have a 4,000 MB DVD to burn!!!
A 144 MB video gives me a 1 GIG DVD.
If I go from smart fit to LP, it still just over doubles the size.
These files are already mpg2 files that play fine on a dvd.

I have the same CANON, and I use a class 4 on highest settings with no problem.
Mine also will not "let go" when I try to disconnect it from the computer. I contacted support and they told me that is not their problem.
It does the same thing on 7 computers and 4 Operating systems.
I also can not get it to download to comptuer at all with their software to which their response was it is not their problem.
Let me know if you have the same problems or if it is just my camera if you don't mind.
One note that I have found about HD recording is that you have to pay more attention that your subject is in focus, because it really shows. For christmas, I set mine up on a tripod and someone put a big present in front of the kids and the AF chose that to focus on, so the kids are very noticibly out of focus, but that present is crystal clear!

I checked out the videos, but all of the buttons configurations are greyed out. Is it not supposed to be this way, or do I need to do something first?

I want to make some home movie templates and basically just put 10+ titles on a page to choose from.
I have looked through the manuals, but I am just not seeing it.
Sorry to be asking such a basic question, but I am frustrated that this very simple task isn't intuitive.
(At least not to me right now)! 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
