RENDER SIZE ESTIMATE

Great program, I was wondering if a size estimate could be included in the render to mpeg like DVDA-2 has when you drop an avi in. I know that the bit budgeting is the go and I use it however a true size estimate based on the encoding settings would be great...just my 2c worth.

Even better would be an option to automatically set the bitrate to the value needed to make the project (or selected video) "just fit" a single DVD, with perhaps a 1-2% "fudge factor" to account for DVDA menus.

Of course, if you plan to create animated menus, or put other files on your DVD, then this option wouldn't help. However, I bet such a feature would be used 99% of the time by 99% of the users out there.

It should also have the option to render the AC3 file as well. I cannot for the life of me understand why Sony forces us to use a script to render the video and audio in one operation.
