Final output size estimation is slightly off

[Predat0r]

One thing I've just realized when using mpgs for assets is the estimated size of the final output is slightly larger than the actual output. For example I was making a DVD with 3 movies and 6 svcd mpg assets total and the estimated size was 4.6gb which of course is too large to fit on a regular dvd5. Then, before I converted them to dvd, I checked their size and they were a combined total of 4.35gb. So I went ahead and made the conversion and the final output size of the video_ts folder was 4.36gb. This isn't really a big deal for sure, but i thought I'd just pass it on.

Thanks. The estimate from mpgs is just a guess. It is also has a saftey margin. I will be improving this estimate later on.

Thanks again for the headsup.

I had this as well.
The estimated was 4.39 (ie. too large) but it was exactly 4.37 and just fitted on a DVD.
(was from the items I sent you in the example CB).
