I have a slow, unreliable internet connection, so I purchased the boxed version of V4-DVDA, so I can't test this myself. In the DVDA beta it looks like you can add the same media repeatedly and not increase the amount of disc spaced used.
Example:
I have an 8 minute promo that has 4 chapters. The first chapter is just a lead in. I have added the media to a menu 4 times. The first plays all the way through the 8 minutes. The next 3 I set in and out points in each that correspond to chapters 2, 3 and 4. Each chapter plays and returns to to the menu.
My question is the disc usage does not change when I add the media more than once. Is DVDA smart enough to recognize that it is dealing with the same media file and only places it on the DVD once?
