Dual-layer DVD = twice compressed size..?

KitKat · 28 Nov 2001, 09:02 AM

Hi there,

Another trick question for you all. Here's the situation. I recently compressed a movie from a dual-layer dvd. In all, the movie was about 6 gigs worth of vobs (made sense since its dual-layer). After using the divxbitratecalculator, it told me a rate of 1222kB/s would make this long movie fit on two cds. I made it 1200kB/s to be on the safe side.

I wake up the morning after and saw the resulting avi was 2.67 gigs big..! Roughly twice as 1.4 gigs.

I let go a "Wtf!" and wondered what happened.

Has anybody here encountered that strange result before? Is there something special I have to do?
