massive avi overhead 11%, possibly

[Wolfman]

did a conversion .. fairly standard ... but wanted to keep two audio tracks .. was a bit shocked when gspot told me of this inefficiency.
81% video 9.8% audio and 10% avi overhead .. realise, now that maybe gspot is lying... not a major problem, more has anyone else noticed this? agk2.4, codec divx, ac3 audio x2.

It's probably lying and counting the second audio track as overhead. I just tried it with 2 mp3 tracks (22.4meg each) and G-spot does indeed say audio 22.4MB and overhead 26.7MB. Have you not tried adding up the filesizes yourself?

Even worse, if you use Open-DML in avi-mux-gui then it gives overhead about 98%!

SO this is Gspot fault ? and I thought it was near god-like status.. relegated to the scrap bin of His-story
