It looks like you ran your calculation with UK barrels. Honestly, I had no idea there was a difference until I checked this out.

You can calculate against the size of Texas (land area of texas), but it doesn't seem to know the size of an American football field.

But why on earth would I want to use something so unstandardized as these so-called "key files". I could just use my favorite song that I just ripped from a CD, or maybe the album cover that I just scanned. And five years down the road when my computer kicks the bucket, I'll just re-rip my songs and rescan my album covers, right? RIGHT???

I mean, every time I rip an album or scan a cover EVER I will of course get the EXACT same media results. EVERY media encoder will ALWAYS produce an IDENTICAL output no matter what the settings. And of course, backups are COMPLETELY useless.

Get up to date with the times!
