Undersized DVD RB output

[LynxTheCat]

Hi!

I use DVD RB 1.26 and CCE SP2, but when ripping a dvd9 at 4.59 GB the output image was just 4.16 GB, which is grossly undersized. I've looked over all settings, but can't seem to find what's wrong. Can anybody help me with this? Oh and I use win7 home premium as OS.

Grossly undersized? C'mon, your definition of "gross" seems to be a little off. But, anyway... first -- a single layer DVD only holds a little over 4.37GB so your number is exaggerated. Second, 4.16GB fills 95% of the available space (even though DVD-RB typically aims to write 4.20GB). Lastly, blank DVDs (even high-end ones) have a long history of issues on the outer edges -- making it wise to avoid writing there. I got tired of all the reports that blamed DVD-RB for the bad writes rather than the media.

But... if you want to ignore the warnings and "fill the disc" -- you can set the output size with "TargetSectors=" -- a search of this forum will return lots of posts discussing how to use it. Try this one (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=748168&highlight=hctargetsectors#post748168).
