help with editing video in power producer 7

[zadam123]

Hello, this is my first post and hope its in the right place. i have a question on editing video in power producer 7 and was wondering if anyone can help me. Ok here is the situation, i captured the video with my hd camcorder and on the bottem left production summery where it tells you how much space you use it says i used 43.410 / 24,202 . I assume this means the video is 43 gig and the blu ray i am making only holds 24 gig, there is also a line in the red to show this.

now is the confusing part i need explained. I went to edit the video to make it smaller to fit on the disk and i took out 1 minute of video out of a 3 hr video and it now tells me i have 19,231 / 24,202. how is this possible where did 24 gigabites go? I know that 1 minute of video is not that big? To prove this i did as as above i deleated 1 minute of video and got the above results but then i deleted another 1 minute clip and the results in the production went to only 19,159 / 24,202, a loss of ony 72 megabites. Why is the first edit a loss of 24 gig and the second and so on 72 meg?
