I've noticed, since downloading a few programs with GiP in 1080p, that
that the estimated download size is usually too big by a factor of
around three or four times. This for example, is typical - the estimate
for the dash video size is 10339MB, but the actual download is 3536MB:

By contrast, the estimated sizes for 720p downloads are usually accurate
within 20% or so. This is GiP 3.29 running on Raspbian Linux.
