Yeah, when I render 2hrs of avi into a DVD using DVDA2, what it use to be nice normal natural colors turns into too much red or orange/yellow glow, when the footage is dark, dvda2 makes it especially red...etc turns it into un-natural colors. Is there a better way or program to make DVDs? @,@
DVDA2 render into un-natural colors?

You need to color correct using a normal TV or NTSC monitor. What looks good on your computer screen may not look good on a TV.
Also, you should remember that TVs vary; most people don't calibrate theirs, so things look different from TV to TV. Your job is to make it look as good as possible on a properly-calibrated TV and then let everyone else worry about their own sets.

Just based on experience with DVDA, I doubt it. The images produced by DVDA are generally indistinguishable from the original DV, and besides, most other coding programs use the same MainConcept encoder.
Also keep in mind that with Vegas, you can encode in the DVD Architect format, so DVDA will not re-render. If you feed it anything else, DVDA will re-render it anyway, so there’s no particular advantage to using another encoder – unless it will encode in DVDA format, too.
But even if other programs produce a nominally better image than Vegas or DVDA, you still have to make sure you’re setting your colors by a TV or NTSC monitor, or you will see the same problems.
