Did you read this article? http://handbrake.m0k.org/trac/wiki/WindowsGuiGuide

It tells you how to select the DVD from within windows.

It all depends on the movie, and the quality of the encoding.

I typically do all of my files in Handbrake using the Iphone preset:

Then change...

H.264 (ipod) to MPEG 4
No Crop to Auto Crop
Uncheck Chapter Markers box
leave average bitrate at 960
Leave everything else as is...

Most movies will come out with good quality at about a gig or less.

(Transformers was 1.09 gigs)

thanks i think i got it now
