Just tried to backup Into the Woods (2 hours 5 mins) on 25GB Verbatim blank media. Picture freezes about 5 mins in, sound keeps going. It's like a watching a still picture and listening to the movie on a radio. Skip a chapter, fast forward, same thing. Another 2 hour + failure, this time didn't say so but made what appeared to be a successful burn.
Same as Body of Lies (2 Hours 8 mins.) Tired of hearing the discs are bad b/c if so why would they fail only on movies over 2 hours??? The odds of that happening are astronomical. Problem lies with cloneBD. Only solution as of now is "waste" 50GB blanks when 25GB should do the job. Looking at the back of the disc, it as it should be. Not nearly burned to the edge, not warped. Nothing wrong with the disc(s) whatsoever.
I think this gentlemen is onto something. Space is being wasted somewhere or being misappropriated. I dunno, not my cup of tea. Just know without a doubt as of now, cloneBD will not burn a 2 hour + movie successfully to any 25GB blank media, have the logs and screenshots of larger ones that failed to burn altogether as proof. I'm a lifetime owner and I'm sure it'll get fixed. As of now, very annoying and time consuming.
Backed up the American (1 hour 45 mins). Plays over halfway thru and this one just totally freezes. Sound and video. CloneBD reported successful burn. Close to 2 hours. Reinstalling v.1030 b/c when it "sees" it can't burn, it says burn error but writes nothing to the blanks. At least don't lose them.

The upcoming version should allow to recompress audio to AC3 for those who don't give a damn whether the sound is "HD" (I personally couldn't tell the difference anyway). AC3 is CBR, so size estimates should be dead on, video quality better due to FAR less audio waste.
