Hello,
I try to create my 1st compilation with DVDA, i used DVD Shrink to extract chapters from differents DVD. Now i have several VOB files on my HD and the total size of these 10 VOB files is about 4.3 Go.
In DVDA when i insert these files after 6 files DVDA displays in red that size >4.7 Go. Each file have its size surestimated by DVDA, file size in DVDA is greater than the real size of the files stored in my hard disk.
What's wrong ? am i missing something ?
I tried to create the same DVD with Nero and there is no problem, Nero displays a total size : 4.5 Go (total of my files + menus and other structure files)
Thanks for help in advance.

From the windows perspective, you can only have about 4.37GB on a DVD, so you may be near the limit.

Beyond that, DVDA and DVDAS are both well known for not being able to correctly estimate final project sizes.
