You probably had the video set to CBR instead of VBR

so set it to vbr
any other setting i should check?

I'm not familiar with mainconcept i'm afraid.
Have a shot at TMPGEnc encoder (not TMPGEnc Author) and just use one of the PAL DVD templates. It should encode sound and video to 4.3Gb (DVD-R)

If all else fails, let "TMPGEnc DVD Author" create the 5.9Gigs DVD "package" on your hard drive and then use DVD Shrink to compress it to under 4.37Gigs...

Good suggestion.
When TPMGEnc complains that the 5.9Gb will not fit on a DVD-R, just aggree to the warnings and continue. Then use DVDShrink like setarip suggested.
