you can use the settings I mentioned & as long as you have at least the 30G free on C that should be ok, as long as you do the conversion process on D.

Guys, I repeat, never use 100% threshold for big folders. For example, GTAV, the game is 60gb, if you use threshold that big then you will need 120gb for compression and decompression if you are going to make it fit in a media such as dvd5 or dvd9. 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!
