dvd2one compressed file size too big

[cthulhu]

This is my second movie to backup. I am using dvddecryptor, dvd2one, and copytodvd. I have followed the guide to backup the whole movie. When I try to burn the disc with copytodvd I get an error message: Please insert writeable media, required free space estimation 4.46 gb, the media doesn't have enough free space.
The disc is a ritek dvd-r. I was given the discs (5 in all). Could this simply be the media? Now I was able to back up just the movie and burn it to one of these discs without a problem. I'm just wondering why I am getting this error.

Thanks for any info.

I don't know this will work, but take the movie you ran with
dvd2one and run it again in dvd2one. Or use DVD Shrink and see what
happens.

in dvd2one alter the size it compress to to something smaller say 4.2

I have the size in dvd2one set to 4.3gb. I can't understand why it is actually 4.46gb.

Simply its to do with how bits and bytes are caculated, there are diffrent ways of doing it that give diffrent answers...
A search will bring a far better insight into this than i can explain...
Serfice to say its a pain.....

Ok, thanks. I'll try to lower the file size in dvd2one and try again.

I use DVD2ONE and I enter 4400MB as the total size and never have a rpoblem with it.

4400MB is approximately 4.3GB

I tried 4400mb and that was 4.42 gb. Trying 4350 now.

Are you using the latest version of DVD2ONE because you should have gotten a final size of 4.29 or 4.30 with a custom size of 4400MB

However there was at least one (or more) older versions of DVD2ONE that did calculate the size wrong giving you a slightly bigger size in the end.

So all I can figure is that you have and are using one of those "buggy" versions.

The oversize issue is discussed in detail on the DVD2One official forum. www.dvd2one.com/forum/

The problem appears in the final version 1.40 aswell. I had this problem backing up Master & Commander in full disk mode. Movie only caused no problems.

I mostly almost always do MOVIE ONLY mode but I just did a FULL DISK back-up recently and didn't have a problem. This was with 1.4.0

I'll have to look at that thread you linked ...
