View Full Version : Die Hard - ISO continually coming up too large

All:

I am having an issue with backing up Die Hard (I believe it is Disc 1 of the trilogy set). Interestingly enough, I did not run into this problem with Die Hard 2 or 3.

The issue I get, is when I go to burn the ISO to DVD, it constantly comes up as too large:

Blank DVD Space Available: 4,706,074,624 bytes
ISO Image Size: 4,721,301,504 bytes

I use all the latest versions of Big 3. I do not use NuMenu4u. The only thing "out of the box" I do, is I manually remove the DVD Previews that play at the begining of the disc by deleting its VOB and replacing it with a blank. On this particular disc the VOB I delete is only 100MB anyway.

I have run the Big 3 process letting Scenaid calculate bitrates for CCE (which is my preferred method). After having it run twice and getting the same sizing error, I ran it once with DoItFast4U sizing, and the ISO came out to be the same size.

Does anyone know how I can fix this issue. Its rather annoying to have everything seem to work fine, but to have your ISO come up just a tad too large...

Again, the oddest part is that for the other 2 Die Hard discs (which are set up in a very similar fashion with the same size Previews VOB) everything worked fine.

Thanks!

set the scenaiddisc sizesomewhat smaller. Maybe there's an unprocessed asset you can shrink a bit?

Where can you specify that in Scenaid? I didn't see anything in any of the menu/options.

you can do that if you set scenaifd to not do a oneclick run (not generate the script inmediately). In that case you can play around with the bitrates and also influence the total desired discsize.

It would be a good suggestion to move it to the general settings as well ;)
