From Mythburn.py:
#Add a little bit for the multiplexing stream data
totalvideosize=totalvideosize*1.08
but I found when playing with Mythburn that the totalaudiosize will
include both mp2 and ac3 files. I had at that time disabled the
immediate deletion of the mp2 source and tcrequant was more aggressive
than normal.
