No:-)
 I guessed it will take around 4-5 DVD's. But even 5-15 would not be a big
problem, i want to believe.........

 Can you give a rough approximation of how many GB's are the whole 6
piece.......?
 Is it around and after compression 6 GB (60·100 MB (5-piece size)) or it's a
lot more........?
 Eugene Nalimov once talked about an exact formula giving all these numbers that
exist in the archives. But it's not very convenient and easy to look into
them.... Does anyone know what he was talking about........?
