Encoded Size reads larger than original .m2v file in Timeline

I've exported my movie from Premiere CS3 to an .m2v file and imported it into
Encore CS3. The file is 7.1 GB, but when I put it into a timeline...the timeline
reads in the properties window as having an encoded size of 7.93 GB...this is a
heck of a lot of extra MB and makes it impossible for me to fit the other files
onto my dual layer DVD.

If it's 7.1 GB in Windows Explorer then Encore will see it as about 7.63 GB.

Explorer uses powers of 2 (2^30) to calculate GB and Encore uses the same system
as the blank media manufacturers - powers of 10 (10^9) to calculate GB.
Obviously if you are burning to blank media, that method is the better one for
Encore to use.
