Have had this happen several times now.. I've recorded from my DirecTv DVR to DVD using 1 hr mode to get the best quality on the disc..
Then, ripped from the DVD to HDD using the AnyDVD ripper after it unencrypts the disc (believe it or not, my LG DVD recorder puts all kinds of structural and other protections on the finalized DVD's).
After ripping, run thru DVD Shrink to clean up and create both the Video TS and Audio TS folders (for some reason the DVD recorder seems to create duplicate files even though when you view TV or on the computer, only sees one... file explorer shows duplicates). Output the files back to the HDD nice and clean..
Then run thru AGK to convert to .avi... For a 1 hour show I'll set to 1/2 CD (350MB).. several times now I've had the finished .avi turn out to be only 220 - 240MB instead of 350MB.. Also had this happen a few days ago when I ripped the main movie from a commercial DVD.. picked full CD output (700MB) and the finished .avi was only 454MB.... Plays fine, everything looks good, in sync, 16:9 format, but much smaller file than I wanted it to be..
Unfortunately I don't have any of the AGK logs available right now.. Had a minor computer glitch and had to restore back to before I had the files... but, will post one the next time I try a conversion.. (probably sometime on Wednesday). Meanwhile, appreciate any help or advise you can give.. and fyi, using the newest version of AGK (v2.55)
Thanks....

OK, was hoping someone would have responded and maybe had some ideas or suggestions before I did my next conversion, but since no one has.... maybe posting the log will help.. This is from an episode I recorded off my DVR last night and converted from DVD to .avi today.. Again, I specified completed file size to be 350MB, but the actual completed file was much smaller... only 280MB.

Could really use some help here..... the first 3 episodes I tried converting all came out to be about 350MB (what I selected as target size), but the last 2 have both been much smaller.. Other than forcing 16:9 (AGK thinks it should be 4:3, but recording is widescreen and everything is squashed when viewed 4:3) and sharp matrix, have made no other changes to the settings.. Same changes that I made for the first 3 conversions..
Thanks
