Thanks for confirming that.
I've always wondered if that were true.
I have a few DVD .iso's made from Rip-to-Image and now I know if I want to burn them, I should run them through CloneDVD first.
Just to be safe.

Well yes it's the optimal case using CloneDVD first.
By the way, the oversize-issue is just happening when you copy the files from a DVD-ROM with bogus titles using
Windows-Explorer (AnyDVD of course needed in backround for decrypting CSS etc.),
so Windows-Explorer extracts all the IFO, VOB, BUP files + including the bogus title sets to a destination directory on HDD (as extracted form, like "unzipping" a file, in thise case from an ISO). So in this case copying with
Windows-Explorer results in much more big files, and you'll have much bigger size than would actually fit on DVD-9 (2-layer DVDs),
Mainly The bogus titles are copies/multiple duplicates from a
group of IFO, BUP, VOB files that (
group of IFO, BUP, VOB files would actually alone, without those duplicates/links, already be sufficient for the whole DVD-movie, DVD-menu, subtitles, languages etc. Those multiple duplicates of course are under different files names (slighly varied), (because there cannot be two and not more files than one with the same name in the same directory (in this case VIDEO_TS folder).
Windows-Explorer will read every-pseudo-file-entry/bogus title whatever you call it, due to different name it can't overwrite when you select whole VIDEO_TS folder and will paste entire content, the data of all bogus title sets/links from those underdifferent names resulting in those multiple with read and pasted data to destination, resulting with bloated size.
AnyDVD-Rip-to-HDD, which (AnyDVD-Rip-to-HDD) would remove those bogus duplicates, not copying those duplicates over.
But when you create the ISO directly from the DVD-ROM with structural copy-protection with AnyDVD-Rip-To-image, it just needs to pass those bogus title sets/similar to link into the ISO 1:1 from original DVD+ROM, it'll pack them just like links, 1:1 as on original DVD-ROM, like so you wo
n't have the bloated-size isuess.
I don't have the capability the explain better, other propaply will do that better
Here a few screenshots how structural copy protection, and how in Video_TS folder it looks like.

And screenshot with checksum as file comparison between several identical big files with same sizes and identical checksum:
Here DVD-ISO with structural copy protection mounted
ISO in virtual drive(Win-Explorer "Bereitstellen"/"Mount") =>You can checkAnyDVD status window here
Mounted ISO was ripped with AnyDVD-Rip-To-Image alone (without CloneDVD2) from a DVD9-ROM with those bogus title sets.
You can check that by screenshot that it is an mounted ISO, due to missing layer break display in AnyDVD status window.
[Edit]And also would be 50%/50% layer break here, because not taken any .dvd nor any .mds (media descriptor file => ImgBurn; Alcohol 120% ), moutning the ISO, so here mounting directly the ISO, but 50%/50% still also not displayed because ISO-image mounted via Windows-Explorer (Win 8.1), (not mounted by Alcohol 120% here nor Virtual Clone Drive where 50%/50% would be displayed if mounting directly the ISO isstead of using the corresponding mds or .dvd file)
And no bloated size issue, because the ISO was ripped directly from original DVD-ROM to image:
If I ha
d first copied all files from DVD-ROM in VIDEO_TS folder with Windows-Explorer+AnyDVD to a directory, there would be the bloated size problem, rebuilding such destination folder to ISO with ImgBurn wouldn't help. That's why it's better to use CloneDVD2-rip-to-image function directly from original DVD-ROM, or alternatively use AnyDVD-rip-to-HDD (=folder destination, exctracted, but bogus title sets removed like in DVD-CloneDVD2-ISO-Image)directly from original DVD-ROM and rebuild that to ISO , or AnyDVD-Rip-to-Image (but also directly from original DVD-ROM):
The AnyDVD-Rip-To-Image from original-DVD-ROM which of course still includes those bogus titel sets, just mount it in virtual drive, and you can still remove those bogus title sets afterwards with CloneDVD2 or AnyDVD-Rip-to-HDD later: Tested that out no issues
That might be what you want
markfilipak , if this this 1:1 method is really so important to you with still having the still remaining option to get a corrected image with CloneDVD2, AnyDVD-Rip-To_HDD for e.g. transcoding purpose.
@testiles
And burning and playing back such image as said before no relevant issues, but must be reprepared when trasncoding.
