I am finding some strange things with the project size estimation in DVDA3C. Tonight I've spent hours trying to get four 1.1 GB files to fit on a regular sized DVD. I know that should be a tight fit, but when I add the files one by one to my project the estimated size jumps tremendously - in one case, one of the files was estimated at 3.1 GB!
This problem seemed to go away when I added the four files at one time by dropping them on the main menu. The estimated size was 5.5 GB - still larger than anticipated, but none were going to be recompressed in the preparation process.
I couldn't find any clues other than the frame rate of the files. In one case one of the files had a frame rate of 29.9... while the rest were 23.9... Could this be the cause of the problem?
