Wrong File Sizes
I successfully created a DVD with MF5 a couple of days ago. When I went to start a new project with MF5 today, I saw that it was reading the wrong file sizes for my videos. For example, if I have a file that is 99 MB, when I add it to MF5, it says that it's 227 MB. I just starting having this problem. I even tried adding files from the first project that I created successfully and it did the same thing with those files. I tried reinstalling MF5, but I'm still having that problem. The files all come from different sources. Some were downloading and some were captured by me. It's doing it with every video I add to the project regardless of type.
It depends on the format. If you download a WMV or DivX file* and convert it to MPEG-2 (DVD format) it's going to get bigger.

That's really small for a video file. A single sided DVD is over 4GB (over 4000MB). A 90 minute AVI/DV file is about 20GB (20,000MB)! ...I'd guess that it's a highly compressed format, and it is very short in duration.For example, if I have a file that is 99 MB

That particular file is a 4 minute video and it was mpeg format. I was just using that as an example. It's doing that with every single file I add to the project. The program wasn't doing this a few days ago. I'm putting a bunch of video clips on a DVD. I just did this with MF5 with no problem a few days ago, but now MF5 is reading the size incorrectly regardless of the format. Whether I add avi or mpeg (I don't try to burn anything other than those). Even if the file is small, it still doesn't make sense that when I add the file to my project, MF5 is reading the size incorrectly. I understand that if I were to convert the file or something in MF5 that the size would increase, but it's reporting the wrong file size without my doing anything, but simply adding the file so that I work with it.
