I am a bit surprised about a dvd disk I am copying to a usb disk, Usually the dvds are 4GB or less. This dvd lists as 7GB in properties and listing it there are a lot of 1GB files and all in all 120 files compared to less than 20 on the other dvds in the series I am copying. What is surprising is that the copy operation tells me the files are more than 65GB and is taking forever to copy. I have to have a dvd player open on the pc open on the film because otherwise the copy operation reports some of the files empty or impossible to copy. I am having doubts about having this 65GB monster folder on my hard disk for one dvd but I am going to let the copy operation finish and see if I can compress the files in the folder. I have never witnessed this before. Is this something the dvd makers do to deter us from copying. There are all kinds of tricks needed to copy some dvds. It is interesting that the file dates are reported as created 30.12.2010 during copy but after the copy the date is reported as 7.2.2036
