File size not correct?

Hi,
I'm playing with Architect 6(237) and created an mpg file in Vegas 13, using MC codec. Now, the created file by windows is reported as 3.44GB, the MediaInfo reports 3.45 GiB which translate to 3.7044092928000003 GB. And yet when I insert that file to Architect, as a new project so there is noting else, the disk capacity information goes red and reads 5.5GB. Is there a bug in the Architect ?

Thanks.

File details:
Format : MPEG-PS
File size : 3.45 GiB
Duration : 1h 15mn
Overall bit rate mode : Variable
Overall bit rate : 6 578 Kbps
