Copied to a network location the files are roughly 24 GB in size.  So how did they fit that all on one DVD?  The disc is not blue-ray.  Is this a case of "de-duping"?


Needless to say I was surprised by the results.  The disk does not appear to be damaged in any manner.

Reduced image size due to "single instancing," which means that the file data is stored separately from the path information. This enables files that exist in multiple paths or in multiple images to be stored once and shared across the images.
