maximum under 4.3gb

hi,

i'll try to explain something, sorry for my english

let's say i want to rip only a movie, with only one ac3 track, total size of the movie is 5gb so stuff has to be removed
i rip then load ifoedit
let's say that the movie has 3 languages, english, french and spanish
i only keep the french track and let ifoedit running
once it's finished the total size is only 3gb (just an example)
why burn a dvd with only one audio track if you can keep more ?
so i do again the whole thing but keep the english audio track as well, this time total size if 4gb, i'm fine, and burn

but i had to run ifoedit twice

what i'd like but i don't know at all if it's a good idea or not
a button, in ifoedit, saying something like "check the final size"
then ifoedit parse the vobs files (but no write to the hd actually) then says "total size is 3gb" so obviously you can try to add an audio track

if processing the vob files even without writing is pretty as long as demuxing on the fly and writing then it's definitely a bad idea, but i'm not an expert

derrow what do you think ?

Yea, that would be a very nice option, combined together with a bit-rate calculator for the video stream.

When I get time, I'll implement something like that.

Well, what about a button "File Information" or something. Once pressed a window opens, and a tab is presented wheere the videostream and its size is showed, the audiostreams with checkboxes and there size, and finally the summation of videostream and checked audiostreams. So you can play around with combinations and you see the size(s).

Very useful to get filesizes of the streams without demuxing them. At least the ac3-audiotracks shouldn't be that problem, just calc with the length in secondes and the kbit-rate. ;)
