After recording onto a DVD+RW for the first few times, I looked at the list of files, and among the others, I saw two sets of VOB files:
VTS_01_1.VOB ........... VTS_02_1.VOB
VTS_01_2.VOB ........... VTS_02_2.VOB
VTS_01_3.VOB ........... VTS_02_3.VOB
VTS_01_4.VOB ........... VTS_02_4.VOB
VTS_01_5.VOB ........... VTS_02_5.VOB
Later I saw that both sets had recorded the same thing. So my next thought was "Well THAT is a big waste of space! Why record everything twice?"
Soon after that, I selected all of one set of VOB files and it totaled nearly 4.6GB. Knowing the DVD capacity was only 4.7GB, I was confused how the second set of VOB files were there. I selected all of the files in the folder and it totaled nearly 9.2GB, but any other way of looking at the disc indicates that it is only 4.7 GB max.
What is going on here? How (and why) would the second set of VOB files be both there and not there?
Later, I did a quick disk format, and from thne on only one set of VOBs have been showing.
VTS_01_1.VOB ........... VTS_02_1.VOB
VTS_01_2.VOB ........... VTS_02_2.VOB
VTS_01_3.VOB ........... VTS_02_3.VOB
VTS_01_4.VOB ........... VTS_02_4.VOB
VTS_01_5.VOB ........... VTS_02_5.VOB
