I've always wondered about that. LUK, if the MM stands for minutes and the SS stands for seconds what does the FF stand for? Heck, I'm not even sure the MM and SS stand for minutes and seconds, I'm just guessing.It's not 'movie' time, its time (probably in old CD based terms) of the disc size.
i.e.
74 mins = 640 mb
80 mins = 700 mb
An easy mistake to make, don't worry.
LUK's answer: FF = frames
==================
1] Going back to original question, I still don't understand why the source (ISO) shows 355 mins (3106 MB using yr idea/maths) and the target/result on DVD is shown as 340 mins (ish), ie 2966 MB using your maths (NB: I have used the higher factor of your two (74=640/80=700) examples, as they don't actually produce the same answer....). If anything, I would have thought DVD file system would use more space than HDD (NTFS, in case u were wondering)
2] Waddya mean 'probably in old CD-based terms' - aren't you sure? If not, why does your prog display it?
3] I have difficulty believing FF stands for Frames - are you seriously saying there are more than 45 (see my first quoted MM:SS:FF time) frames per second? This is nearly double the frame rate Hollywood uses for film! I suspect it stands for Fractions of a second (ie, hundredths of same), but obviously I could be wrong
NB: This might come across as confrontational (i've just come home from the pub...) but no offence is meant, just 'lively discussion'

Just used DVDdecrypter to spool a DVD recorded via my under-TV DVD recorder (and before that from VCR to UTV DVD HDD...!). I then used ImgBurn to copy the ISO to a second (blank) DVD (long story...) and noticed the following
During the re-burn, both of the on-screen dialogs (the one that shows source ISO size and the one that shows incrementing target size (ie, '0kb and counting...') are showing a source duration that is approx double the real source file duration
In other words, a source that is approx 3 hours long (actually about 2:55) is showing duration as
355:23:45 (MM:SS:FF) in the source file dialog
and
339:53:19 (MM:SS:FF) as target size
[see attachment for verification/further details]
Apart from the other question that springs to mind ('Why aren't these durations the same?'), the overarching question is 'Why the apparent doubling???'
Thanks in advance

Apologies - also for delayed reply (been working away - though I suspect you haven't been drumming your fingers...)
