OK, I'm looking for a way to say I missed it enven though I was looking for a way to control the output format I didn't find it till tonight. Somehow I never looked on the the Create>2D tab but once I did I lowered the output quality and size went down well below 4.7GB. Disk is burned.
Sincere thanks to all of you for taking the time to help!

BarryTheCrab, the estimated output file is >10GB. See responce to ynotfish for detail
HDedit, SVRT suggests MPEG2 720x480, 29.98, 5,074K. Entire video requires rendering.
ynotfish,
> I mean the amount of MB/GB that will be written to disk. As you and others have pointed out it just seems wrong but, what I am seeing is the indicator at the bottom left of the screen (there is a disk symbol and a temperature gage) that shows 10675 MB / 4700 MB. I take that to mean I have a 10.6GB file to output to a 4.7 GB disk. If I press Burn in 2D>Start Burning I get a message that says in short, 'the disk is 4706 and the estimated production is 10675'.
> I have created a disk menu so I guess the answer is 'yes'
I was going from Edit straight to Creat Disk but since tried Produce and got 5 GB files - still too much and more than I would think for 1 hour 9 minutes
DVD HQ 720x480 60i 8 Mbps gave me a 5.13 GB file
MPEG-2 720x480 24p 8 Mbps gave me a 5.09 GB file so the same
A attached the MediInfo output for the DVD HQ 720x480 60i 8 Mbps file

I'll get together the full information as EKSVid suggested and post. Will also look at other productions and see if I'm having the same problem. Then I'll break this project into parts and see if that helps yield some clues.

I am speaking about the output being over 10 GB.
Here are the properties for the source files
There are 3 source videos which have the same properties except for bitrate. Sizes are 1.42GB, 687MB & 3GB. I captured them from VHS using the PowerDirector default/installation settings. While editing I split and removed significant portions of the source video.
Video properties
Bitrate: 2 are 7.06 Mbps and one is 5.08 Mbps
Resolution: 720x480
Frame rate 29.97 fps
Aspect Ratio 4:3
Frame type: interlaced
Audio properties
Type: Dolby Digital
Sampling rate: 48kHz
Bitrate 256Kbps
Channel: Stereo
I also inserted several .png files for title screens. They are about 800k each (which I could reduce but have not thought to until now).
Thank you all for the responses so far!

File format: MPEG-2
Quality: DVD HQ 720x480/60i (8 Mbps)
or do you mean under Edit>Preferences...?
off - Reduce video blocky artifacts
on - Reduce video noise when using MPEG-1, MPEG-2 ....
off - Allow SVRT on single IDR H.264 video.

I'm completely new to this so I am probably doing something wrong ...
I recorded footage from VHS as .mpg then produced a movie that is 1 hour 9 minutes long. When I try to create a DVD the produced movie is more than 10GB which of course does not fit. But I'm wondering, most movies on DVD are over an hour so why does mine not fit. Is it a setting somewhere that controls the format or compression for the output?
Thank you for any feedback you may have.
