I've just noticed this incident.
I've been converting some of my old VCDs to DVDs. (TV Rips mainly).

So i've encoded all the audio at 192 kbps.
I inputed the final total bytage into the calculator, and i always use the larger number just to leave a little more buffer room. Its only like 2 megs.

Then for the menu i created, i reserved 30 megs for it in the Video_TS section on teh calculator. I set 1 track, and let DoItFastU4 find teh minutes.

I encoded everything, imported into scenarist.
The final Video_TS set ended up about 30 megs over the DVDr limit.


I then did the whole process over again, but with three different enpisodes. This time, they came up about 90 megs UNDER the DVDr max.

The whole menu itself is about 6 megs.

I thought this might be a problem as DOIF4U might have gotten the minutes wrong, so i tallied them up on paper, and they were about 2 minutes under the programs.


Any ideas what could have thrown off teh calculations?
