Maybe I never learned how to count
When I open a blank project in DVDA and add a 3.87GB MPEG-2 to the Project Overview Window, DVDA tells me the project size is now 4.1GB. Is DVDA reading file sizes differently?
My issue, though, is that when I add a 0.158GB AC-3 audio file to the Project Overview Window, the project size now leaps to 11.2GB. (Funny, I thought 3.87 + 0.158 + 0.0006 = 4.028,6.)
When I delete everything but the AC3 audio, the project size reads a whopping 7.1GB. An uninstall/reinstall does not change anything.
You think maybe I never learned how to count? Or what am I doing wrong?

No, it’s adding overhead for the menus and other DVD file structures that are not the main movie.

This sounds like you found a bug but it’s usually a harmless bug. If you tell it to render anyway it should fit on a single DVD.

So I use the 4.1GB number, rather than 3.87GB?

Yea, the 4.1 is probably more accurate of what’s being used.
