I’m hoping someone here can help me out. I’m a Mac user.
I downloaded the AVCHD versions of the despecialized edition. I believe these are designed to be burned to DVD+R DL discs.

However, the Verbatim DVD+R discs I purchased have 7.96 GiB capacity (they’re 8.55 GB base 10).

Only ROTJ fits on the discs - at 7.93 GiB
ESB is 8.06 GiB
ANH is 8.13 GiB

Is DVD+R DL the disc format these versions were intended for?
Are the file sizes I’m recording correct? Or did I download bad copies?
Are Windows users able to burn correctly with ImgBurn and these file sizes? Or using other types of media?

I’m wondering what troubleshooting strategy I should pursue at this point. I’d really like to make discs that are playable in a BluRay player rather than off my computer.

Just this month, I put the 8.13 gb A New Hope on a 8.5 gb DVD+R DL (Verbatim brand), with menus included from the 2004 DVD and it fit fine. However, this is most likely cause the software I used, Sony DVD Architect, did some compression when prepping it to be burned. I believe the final output was around 7.8 gigs.

I’m gonna be doing this for the other two soon. If anyone’s interested about it, let me know. I can put the files up and stuff.
