I'm confused about ISO file sizes...
If I rip a SSDL DVD I end up with, in this case, 7.75GB of files, which I can build into an ISO file using Imgtool which has a size of the same 7.75 GB.
But if I split the DVD using IfoEdit, I end up with 2 directories of 3.90 GB and 4.20 GB (total: 8.11 GB).
Putting the 3.90GB directory through Imgtool gives me an ISO of 5.89 GB -- too big to write to DVDR. (The second is even larger -- I forget the exact size).
Can anyone tell me what on earth is going on here? Why is the ISO size sometimes the same as the files that go into it, and sometimes so much larger?
And, what do I need to do in order to write this split DVD to disk?
In hope,
ian
