Err..I would have said compression is the answer here but 163->4.7 gb compression seems highly unlikely

BTw, *ahem* what are all the video files?

jripper was asking what the dvd contains he is so anxious

Only link points are there in the file system of the CD, that's why it is showing 163GB. If you try to open/play those files then you will see apart from ~4GB files, all are corrupted.

trust me other than a few, none will work

if its the ~ahem~ kind of dvd, then its a possibility. and as said above, only a few will work, if they work at all...

OPs DVD has a BIG VIRUS :-D

Hearing first time it is happening for DVD's, it used to happen for some chinese pen drives,mp3 player. long time back when pen drive was 256 -512 mb, I bought a mp3 player of SONI (yes it is I) of 2 GB @ 1500 rs. In my computer it shows disk space as 2 GB but whenever i tried to store data above 200 mb, it showed file size in TB, and the file get corrupt. May be some kind hardware tweak, that will only show data storage as increased.

I think in this case the disc was not properly burned. Are you able to play the movies?

If you want to save the movie file create an iso image. And use Deamon tools(or any Virtual Drive software) to mount it. I think the image will take only 4 GB.

And I have no idea why it is showing that 163 GB.

mother of mercy!! what dafuq dvd is this?? send link to sony's bluray research wing. they'll be owned!!

Its a software trick to stop you from copying the DVD

W

plain & simple file system entries hack.every OS gets information from file system entries(there is a standard one for dvd).if there is only 1 actual 4gb file but 100 different filesystem entries pointing to the same file then OS will show total size as 400gb & 100 files.

OHH MY GODD...... :shock:

It seems that God is himself in this DVD... Better ask Akshay Kumar why it's happening

163GB has surpassed the size of blu-ray....that DVD is better than HD-DVD & bluray

obviously its some kind of I/O error in the DVD
