Default Re: Video file size issue

So far

Win X HD converter

Freemaker Video converter

Both have converted stuff in the past and reduced the file size, but not this time?

I used Handbrake to burn the file to a DVD RW which reduced it to about 3gb, from the +4gb.

Even though the file size is shown as 1.12gb in windows, there's another 3gb that I can't see.

Currently in my DVD menu I've got about 3gb from 2 titles, which are about an hour each.

When I add this file to the list, even though its only 1.12, the capacity bar for the dvd jumps to nearly 7gb for the dual layer dvd?

You can tell its better quality footage, but why is it only showing 1.12gb?

I'm just trying VLC media player to convert it
