You can only set threshold if you are sure that there won't be spliting and merging taking place. Take Max Payne, 35gb, you can set threshold to 100 if you are going to fit it in a BD50 since there will be no splits and no additional space will be required. I put the threshold on 30% for a reason.
Hi Razor.

I understand the concept you gave there, but I still have a point I would like to learn:

Taking that example of Max Payne (35gb folder, BD50 target - hence no spliting/merging), what would be the difference (pros & cons) of using 30% or 100%?

Kind regards and thanks once again for your time!
