    Hi. I've gotten a lot of computer answers from here, but have never actually posted until now. I'm having issues with Nero that I don't understand. I thought it would be a nice idea to burn my entire Three Stooges collection for a family member for Christmas. So I added the files to Nero Vision 4 (which is what I'm running), and I noticed that as the files were being added, they were loading with extremely high mb's. Much higher than they actually are. I added three files totalling 450mb, and they were appearing in nero as almost 2.5gb, under the standard play setting. Under the Super Long Play setting, they are still showing a little over 1gb. At 450mb's, they should not exceed 0.5gb, but are showing close to 4 times that amount under normal play. At this rate, it's gonna take me over 30 4.7 dvd's to make these, and it's retarded to be able to only put 4 episodes per disc without sacrificing quality, when I should be able to hold at least 15. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? Thanks

    Ya they're Avi files. Showing up as 149mb's a piece, before adding them to Nero Vision 4. Runing time is around 17 minutes a piece.
