Size of .aca files...as seen by VPLST000.XPL

I made some changes to my popup.aca file and now it has a new size...how can I figure out what this new size is so that I can report it correctly to VPLST000.XPL...

the line in VPLST000.XPL looks like this

<ApplicationResource src="file:///dvddisc/ADV_OBJ/popup.aca" priority="1" multiplexed="false" size="1165284" description="archive"/>

Since I made changes I know the new size is greater than this...and I believe this discrepency is causing my errors on play. Usually I would just watch my debugger while I emulate to see what the new reported size should be...debugger is nice as it tells you there is an error and what size the offending file is.

Its wierd cause the size of the popup.aca as reported by windows is 920K...this translates to 1165284

So I need a conversion on the new popup.aca wich windows reports as 944k

Its not a straight conversion like you would think...Debugger always gave me the correct values to enter until now...thought maybe there was a trick

Right click on your file in Windows Explorer and choose "Properties"

Find the line that looks like: Size: 64.5 KB (66,048 bytes)

The number you want is in the parenthesis - 66,048 bytes

Remove the comma, and byte text and you're left with:

66048

Now your Application Resource line should read:

<ApplicationResource src="file:///dvddisc/ADV_OBJ/popup.aca" priority="1" multiplexed="false" size="66048" description="archive"/>

The Toshiba player will tolerate a slight variation in size in the playlist and the actual size. Obviously, it's best to be the same incase a future player needs them to be the same. I've done it countless times as jpete03 explained with no problems. For reference, Sonic's previewer could care less about the size. I hope they fix that in a future release.
