Hello,
I recently encoded the movie Starship-Troopers to 2 CDs. I adjusted the movie length on the bitrate-tab so that it should fit on two CDs (the movie is 124 min.). I selected two audio-streams, the original and the director's comment. The bitrate I've selected for audio was 160 but before muxing, I re-encoded the wav's, to 192 and 128, to give the main stream more bits while the average of both streams stays 160. After muxing and VCCbuild i ended up with two bbMPEG_Muxed_File-subbed, the first one 821 MB (:o), the second only 633 (:() and accordingly two bin files slightly bigger (832, 642). I burned the first one on a CD, but at 99% it interrupted (as I expected...). Nevertheless my Pioneer player accepted the CD and started to play. Both audio-tracks where present and selectable. The movie stottered sometimes for a second or two, but i assume that this is prob with this device... but - how could DVD2AVI produce this strange file sizes? Perhaps I am too spoiled, but I would appreciate it to have the bin files roughly at the size of the CDs on which I used to burn them! ;)
Perhaps someone has an idea of what had happened, so that I can aviod the same thing next time? Would be great...
Thank's for the attention,
