smashey Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) Hi, I am trying to backup some movies to DVD 4.7GB The movies are over 4.7GB so I split with MKVMergeGUI - this has a built in options for split size, which i think corresponds to burnable media...there is 700M, 703M, 4483M, 8142M, etc So I pick 4483M and after split it gives me this size (when I check in Windows): Size : 4.38 GB (4,708,319,078 bytes) Size on disk: 4.38 GB (4,708,319,232 bytes) Anyway, when I try to burn it seems to be too big, by about 1MB. So my question is - is this preset option in MKVMerge 'wrong' ? Should I change it to 4482 or 4481? It seems to be a popular and well known program, so if there was a mistake in the split size I would have thought it would be fixed... Or is it possible to cram the data onto a single-layer disc by changing some option? Thanks Edited September 13, 2011 by smashey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smashey Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 I think I figured it out. MKVMerge is an a/v splitter so it cannot split at an arbitrary point, it has to split at the end of a video chunk. So when I tried it on different movies, they were all different sizes by a few MB. I guess I just have to double-check it every time, and adjust the split size if it gets too big. Thanks for the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
