That is a lot less then the 262Gb you mentioned earlier?
Also check if the exists both as .old and original. Maybe it mentions
only files that only exists as .old and not as the original, maybe
because transcoding failed?
I still doubt that still existing .old files with a successful
replacement are kept in the database.
