I just tried my first DVD with Maestro. I'm making LotR with the original audio.
DVD-R = 4,700,000,000 bytes = 4,482.27 MB = 4.3772 GB
audio = 599,243,008 bytes = 571.48 MB = 0.5581 GB
empty = 4,100,756,992 bytes = 3,910.79 MB = 3.8191 GB
2990kbps CCE encode:
video = 3,999,269,664 bytes = 3,814.00 MB = 3.7246 GB
avail = 101,487,328 bytes = 96.79 MB = 0.0945 GB
Maestro compiled title set:
VOB1+ = 4,719,028,224 bytes = 4,500.42 MB = 4.3949 GB
other = 475,136 bytes = 0.45 MB = 0.0004 GB
total = 4,719,503,360 bytes = 4,500.87 MB = 4.3954 GB
I had to fit my movie into 3910 MB to be able to fit it on a DVD with just the original 5.1 audio. That means that I should have been able to encode at 3065 kbps in CCE, but I decided to encode at 2990 kbps to give some room for overhead. The .M2V file came out to exactly 2990 kbps, leaving me 97 MB for overhead. When I compiled the title set in Maestro, though, it was 19 MB too big to fit onto a DVD-R. That wasn't just the extra files, either -- the main movie VOB's themselves (VTS_01_1.VOB thru VTS_01_5.VOB) were 115 MB bigger than the original M2V + AC3 files.
So, my question is...
Is it normal for multiplexing your movie to add 115 MB of overhead? I saw someone else on this forum saying they encoded LotR at 3000 kbps and it fit fine.
