Have run multiple tests with the new version & have yet to have it fail, as long as you extract version 2.2.1 into new folder, then use it from there, as files have been updated from previous versions.

Doing a run right now using 2.2.1 on your conversion to see the outcome, will post results as soon as its completed its compressions.

EDIT:
Worked 100% with Version 2.2.1, end up with 2xdvd5s
DVD1 - 4.36GB
DVD2 - 3.60GB
Lol, yeah I use the oldie one, which don't know why but it keeps working like charm to me.
TBH latest 2.2.1 seems to work well, just a couple issues already reported but can be avoided and get bthe program working without problems so far. My new conversions are being made with 2.2.1...

Also one funny thing, did an precomp+srep+arc test on Evolve with 1.1 and got it almost to 5xDVD5 (just a couple of MBs out). Did the same test with 2.2.1 and it's like 2GB bigger and both extract well

yeah, me too... I didn't thought that much about it. First I thoght that the new version did somekind of extra calculation and compressed less if it looks like there wont fill the complete disk.
