In his guide he says to use half the size of the bitmaps plus a bit more as a rule of thumb for how much space the subs will take up.
But I compiled a DVD-R with and without subs (bitmaps amounting to 296 MB) and it was ~4.10 GB in both instances. I used vobsub on the DVD-R and the .sub file was like 6 MB (same as original DVD).
His guide was a great help to me and I'm sure others, but perhaps it could be edited in this regard - as it stands it might lead people to not bother with subs. e.g. I wasn't going to include English subs (English is my first language but they can come in handy for visitors, etc) but will now I know the space they take up is so tiny.
This is of course assuming I am I correctand have not made a stupid error somewhere.
BTW I used the search feature and didn't find any mention of this issue ;)
