DVD architect problem with the disc size

Post by Greystoke »

OK, I'ma uthoring a show, and I've done the menus, they're 1.8 MB.
then I import the 3.6 GB .m2v file and suddenly DVD architect is reporting the disc size as 5 GB.

What the hell is going on? Where did the additional 1.4 GB come from?

I didn't edit the video, I just synched the audio. I haven't even added the audio yet, the video si the problem. DVD Architect recognizes it as a 5.5 gigabyte file, and it's not, it's 3.6

I think I'm going to go back to dvd lab or find something else for authoring. Sony Vegas is fine for synching but this different filesize in Architect is just confusing. I don't know if it will reencode the video or something...

EDIT: Just built the DVD and the size looks fine, gspot shows the bitrates of the orignal video and the one authored as the same. I've googled a bit and it seems there's other people with this problem, but after they compile the DVD, the sizes are fine.

Reencode it with the template for DVD Architect. It has to work then.

why would I want to reencode the video? it should be left untouched.
