Hi,
I encoded a project from Premiere which is an Hour and 50 Minutes. I exported my timeline into Media Encoder and I got the estimated file size to 19GB. (This is a Blu-Ray Disc).
I encoded it and then I looked at my Hard drive where I saved it to and it said that file size is 16.5 GB, a lot smaller than the estimated 19 GB.
I imported into my Encore CS 5.1 project, where I had menus and music over my menus, as a timeline, and went to the Build Menu in Encore to look at the file size now. It said 20.5 GB.
Lastly, I made as ISO file of the project and that came out to 22.5 GB
Which file size do I believe?
From now on, I think the most I can encode any timeline from premiere into Media Encoder is 20 or 21 GB. Tops. Knowing that it is going to be a liittle larger once I bring it it Encore.
The ISO file always seems to be the biggest and maybe this is the one to trust.
Any thoughts or solutions on this problem?
I know Encore has a file size bug, but how do other people deal with this problem.
Thanks in advance.
