[ale] Why the difference in data size? (Ripping movies?)

[Rich Faulkner]

Amen brother.  We hid all of our DVD's and have got the kids hooked on
our streaming queue for Netflix.  Now our media isn't getting raped by the
trolls on a daily basis.

Is the DVD in question a movie disk (not data disk?)  I'm interested as I
have a mountain of media to rip to our soon-to-be-built media server
(Linux of course!)    --Rich
