8480000000 / 1024 / 1024 /1024 = 7.8976… GB

edit: So, the insight is, anyone authoring an OS that doesn’t use power-of-2 units on machines that operate by power-of-2 is a fool.

so the OS is responsible for the file size discrepancy.

But will this mean that an 8gb dvd dl will appear to be 8.5gb on my os then? Or am I pretty much stuck unless I copy the files to my external hard drive then burn it at a friends house?

I downloaded the avchd version from the uloz links, from teh paradox, this time the iso file shows up, but the file size shows up as 8.48gb, not 7.9gb. All of the information from the page I downloaded it from stated that all three would be 7.9gb, but this was not the case.

I haven’t tried to burn these unto DVD DL’s yet as I’m waiting for them to arrive, but won’t this be a problem?

I’m using an iMac running yosemite, if that may have something to do with it?

Would appreciate any insight.

Hi

I was wondering if anyone is familiar with burning the avchd version on a Mac.

I can’t seem to find the blank dvd’s large enough to burn either New Hope of Empire strikes back, as they’re both above 8.5 gigs.

from what I understood, I had to just copy the files unto the disk in Finder to initiate the burning, but with the file size I don’t know what I’m to do?

does anyone have a solution, or would this require a Blu Ray burner, if so does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Adey77,
I also have a Mac and downloaded the avchd version of Star Wars. (Star Wars Despecialized 2.7 AVCHD) When I check the size of the file on my Mac it says it’s 8.48Gb on disk. So it should be possible to burn on a dual layer DVD (also known as a DVD9). I recommend using Toast Titanium. I don’t want to burn the avchd version but I’ve imported the files to see what Toast Titanium has to say about it and it seems there’s no problem. The software reads that it will take 7.90 Gb on the disk and that there will be 56.5 Mb of free disk space left.
I hope this helps.

the AVCHD files I have are large, New hope is about 8.6 and Empire is 8.7, only return shows up as being around 8.3 in finder.

I’m not sure why mine are showing as being larger than your versions.
