  1. Re:same DVD-General drive? on New iMac Announced · · Score: 1

    Suprisingly, many movies only take up a single layer on a DVD. A Bug's Life CE uses 1/2 of the 8.4 gig DVD for each transfer (widescreen and recomposed fullscreen), so you can burn a copy of either version once you've ripped and DeCSSed it. With all the added content on discs now, and with the multitude of audio tracks, it wouldnt surprise me if you could scrunch most movies to 4.7 GB once you remove extraneous audio tracks and compress the video a bit. Interestingly enough, Apple uses the OLD version of A Bug's Life to show off its widescreen TiBooks, at least at my local Apple store. If it had the Collector's Edition of A Bug's Life, it would look A LOT better.
