Hi all,

I just ran into something a little unusual trying to rebuild Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus. A little background...I'm using DVDFab to "rip" the movie to my hard drive, then BD-Rebuilder to reencode it down to a BR-25. When I initially scanned the original disc, it was showing 22.7 GB...which is just barely over what DVDFab must think can fit on a BR-25. I ran the BD-Rebuilder, but it said no video reencoding was necessary and it only did some work (roughly 20 minutes worth) on the audio. The end result is a folder that is just 22.5 GB...a pretty small difference. Also, when I try to run the "rebuilt" version through DVDFab it still shows it as being slightly too big for the BR-25 (99% will fit without compression). Yet one more variable that I find interesting is when I run IMGBurn (what I actually use when burning the discs) it shows 97% when I hit the Calculate button on both the original and the rebuilt folders.

I guess my question is...does it sound like there is much if any difference between these two? Why would DVDFAB show that it needs to be compressed when IMGBurn shows it only takes up 97%? Also, in my DVDFAB settings it shows the writable size for the BD-25 is 23 GB, so it really makes no sense why it would need to compress for either the 22.5 or 22.7.

Let me know if this makes any sense or not....

Thanks!
