Big Fat Liar - 1.5 hour "movie only" >4.8GB??

[ar]

I ripped BFL (7.8GB DVD) and used ifoedit to extract just the movie (VTS_01). The resulting files are about 4.8GB. Typically movies under 1.5 hours are smaller. Did I make a mistake in my ifoedit process? Has anyone else experienced a "short" movie at over 4.8gb?
Thanks!

...Rugrats in Paris, movie only, is just 78minutes and ate 4.7GB.

Did you Strip out French Audio/2channel audio and the extra subtitles?

Did you Strip out any extra angles and only leave angle1 on.

That should get the movie size down.

I left in only the video and ac3 english track - no subtitles or alternate languages. I'm not sure about the angles (I don't know how to control that in ifoedit) but I don't think Big Fat Liar has alternate angles.
Possibly it is encoded at a high bit rate causing the large file?

[tonyp12]

If it can not be selected, the movie does not have extra angles.

In the example below, it can NOT be selected.

Thanks... I guess that's why I didn't notice it. It cannot be selected for BFL.

How about deleting the end credits?

un-selecting the last vobid probably will take care of it.

vobedit probably more accurate.

P.S
Are you talking GB=1000 mb or the 4.8gb ~ 5,151,129,000 bytes
If so you have a lot of cutting to do

[ar]

will try... thanks...

What about: Kissing Jessica Stein

1h:36m (96minutes) but is over 5GB even
with one 6ch audio and one english subtitle.

5.16 GB (5,542,756,352 bytes)

The last vob is pretty much the end-credit but deleting it
would only save 166 MB (174,864,384 bytes)

I guess it's time to start to learn to re-encode

The bitrate on some movies is very very high to use up the extras space, it 1 makes it harder to copy and 2 ensures the best video quality. You can make 1 hour take up all 8+gigs of a dual layer disk if you really really wanted. Its just pointless to do.

Learn the reencode = YES!
Goodluck with it.

.
No, You can not, or it will be not DVD anymore. Within standard restrictions You can fill layer with no less than 58 min.

[Faustus]

No less then 58mins? That doesn't make sense, so I'll assume you more no more.

If so look at a superbit disk sometime... almost no extras, just audio and video... with video taking up the VAST majority of the disk. I can strip a VOB until its only the original video and have it be 7gb encoded at a VERY high bitrate. The rate is whats making the extras size in this case not the actual running time of the film.

I'm working with it everyday right now... last movie was about and hour and a half... striped to just audio and video? 6+ GB. When time done? A clean 4.1gb total size.
