hi forum,

i try to build some misic compilations. the former compilations were build from uncompressed wav's, but the new ones i wanted to build from prerendered ac3. (my special settings, not the buildin templates).
after i found here in the forum the reason why it takes so long to import the big ac3, i could nowhere find an explaination why it calculates the project size from the size of the original wav's. if my ac3 is 93mb, after importing the whole project has a size of 340mb ?
it seems to me dvdarchitct will render a wav file from the ac3 file during the preparation process, am i right ?
and why can't it just leave it like it is, like the from "project setting" for video ?

to all of you i wish a happy and peacfull new year

I just set up a DVDA project to test. Selected "music compilation" dropped two AC3 files into compulation. Went to prepare DVD. Checked siae under optimize and size was correct. I am not sure what you are doing to create size problems. To check further, I set up a menu project, dropped in a mpeg file, double clicked on file, inserted AC3 audio for file. AC3 audio replaced audio in mpeg file. I went to prepare DVD and checked sizes and they were fine.
