AutoGK can only do "Predefined" sizes in 1/6, 1/5, 1/4 and 1/3 of a DVDR.
Would it be possible to add some smaller fractions to this list? I only ask because this would be very useful for backing up TV show-type video with shorter runtimes than movies. Many DVD boxsets have TV series that run for 8 to 12 to 24 episodes and it would be great to split a 24 episode series in to 3 DVDs with 8 episodes/disc.
I'd try to do it with the "Custom Size" option, but the size in that one is in MB where the "Predefined" option is actually in Mb - a "Predefined" 1/3 DVD size is shown in the UI as 1493Mb but shows up on disc as 1.45GB. Yeah, I know there is the whole base 10 vs. base 2 thing going on there, but its confusing and the different measuring standards shouldn't both be present in the same UI at the same time.
Or to put it another way, if I want to back up an 8 episode series to DVDR, what option should I chose for the file size?
Like I say, its a pretty small job that should just involve making the target file sizes uniform throughout and adding some smaller fractions for DVDR.
