Single Sided DVD That is 7.5BG???

[GtMustangJim]

I didn't think a single side could be greater than 4.7GB. The DVD is Agent Aika (anime)It has 8 VOB's.


Vob's 2 thru 7 are 1,048,400KB each.
Vob 1 is 141,202KB
and Vob 8 is 375,962KB.


So is this correct? Is there a such Thing as a Single Sided DVD That is 7.5BG???

A single sided discs can have dual layers which is why it is larger than 4.7GB.

Thanks for the Reply. Damn... now how am I going to get this 7.5gb on a 4.7gb without encoding or spliting it onto seperate disc's?

errr... This why I bought a DVD burner, to get away from all this work.

PS Be carfull when buying DVD-R's on Ebay. I think I just got taken for almost $200. I bought a 100pk of TDK's and I belive them to be fakes. The Quality is awfull.

Heres my winning auction...

wellllll if you really want to fit movies on one disk you'll have to do some re-encoding and stuff....
i just split them to two disks and keep the original quality. its faster that way.

This is what we "lucky" folk with DVD Burners do. It has been quite a learning experience. Doom9.org is the best resource you can find. Check out the guides and buy a DVD-RW. Most of all--have fun!

I Know exactly how you feel. I copied CD's etc and then decided to get a DVD burner to copy DVD's. Then when I installed it I discovered that commercial DVD's are manufactured DVD9's and my little burner did DVD5's :angry: It takes me about 24hrs to transcode a film (PIII 650Mhz) and thats only the half of it:mad: So I copy all of my dvds onto 2 DVD-R's. You usually have the room to add all of the extras as well. Have a look at the Doom9 guides. Also a good short point by point guide is available from Derrow (the guru of Ifoedit - The best program in the world....probably) here :-
