One more dumb question

[Cube-DCFanBoy]

everything works perfectly on my Athlon 1.4 512ram machine
but when I try in on my Pentium3 700 512ram, movie disc images are larger than 800meg?( around 815)

I check both dvd2svcd settings and they are identical

[JulCat]

Post both log files and we see for ourselves

[Cube-DCFanBoy]

ok
I'll post them as soon as I get home tonigh
thx

[Kedirekin]

I've done a detailed comparison (thank god for examdiff). The two logs files are functionally identical - the only differences seem to be in file paths and HD free space lines.

Taking the analysis one step further, I'm not seeing a difference in file size.
PC1 CD1: 12945.73 - 12138.93 = 806.8
PC2 CD1: 5126.22 - 4319.39 = 806.83
PC1 CD2: 12138.93 - 11333.55 = 805.38
PC2 CD2: 4319.39 - 3513.98 = 805.41

How are you determining that the CD image size is different?

[Cube-DCFanBoy]

hmmmm
I had feeling this would end up being very dumb question

in the property of bbMPEG_Muxed_File00.mpg it showed 816MB (P3 machine)
same file on Athlon showed 795MB

I guess I just panicked when I saw 816MB
