I actually have what I think/thought was the skidrow release of this (7.92 GiB) except, with any tool (WBM and WIT) I open it with to convert to wbfs it renders out at 4.35 GiB...
So either I have some junk and need a better file, or I need some help with dual layer conversion? I'm stumped, I would appreciate help with either. Thanks~

No. Since the size of the game is larger than a normal DVD5 disc, it needed to add junk data to fill a DVD9 (8?) Disc. When converted to wbfs, the conversion removes this junk.
Just to name an extreme example. Super Mario Allstar port for the Wii is only ~23MB. But when disc itself, aswell as any uncompressedISO file, it's 4.3 GB

Right, I know that. It is 4.37 GB (4,699,979,776 bytes) to be exact, all of them are, except dual layer...
But a file size of 4.35 GiB does not need a dual layer disc... From wiki: "Unlike the Nintendo GameCube, Wii game discs use the standard DVD size, which enables them to hold more memory than the GameCube discs: up to 4.37 GB (4,699,979,776 bytes) for single-layered discs, and up to 7.92 GB (8,511,160,320 bytes) for dual layered discs." so if the wbfs is only 4.35 GiB, why is it on a dual layer disc? Can anyone confirm the 'scrubbed' size of this game?
EDIT: Sorry, I found this I believe on a skidrow site, it is not a skidrow game, the folder/file is: Zumba.Fitness.World.Party.USA.WII-iNSOMNi
EDIT 2: Well, I finally found some scrubbed files that are 'rar'ed' at 4.36 BiB, so I guess the size is correct... Makes no sense to me why they used a dual layer on this if it fits on a normal disc that is almost 4.38 GiB... So I guess I answered my own question, and the torrent can be found here: http://www.torrents.net/torrent/4434551/...I-iNSOMNi/
You were right Q91, but it makes no sense to me!

Considering 7.2GiB is less than the ~7.95GiB a regular DVD9/duallayer disc has, I presume Nintendo has added some restriction on how big the discs may be. I don't have a current ISO that's uncompressed so I cannot check how large normal Wii games are

4.37 GB (4,699,979,776 bytes) is the size of all 'dvd5' or 'normal' Wii games (which is actually closer to 4.38 GiB then 4.37...). And it is a size restriction on dvd5 since they can actually be a bit larger @ 4,707,319,808 bytes for DVD-R. That is why I could not understand why a game that was 4.35 GiB scrubbed would make a dual layer image. Only thing I can think of is maybe they are switching to make all games dual layered? Maybe they think it is an added security feature?
Also, I am now noticing that the site I copied that info from used the wrong nomenclature: "Unlike the Nintendo GameCube, Wii game discs use the standard DVD size, which enables them to hold more memory than the GameCube discs: up to 4.37 GB (4,699,979,776 bytes) for single-layered discs, and up to 7.92 GB (8,511,160,320 bytes) for dual layered discs." SHOULD READ:
"Unlike the Nintendo GameCube, Wii game discs use the standard DVD size, which enables them to hold more memory than the GameCube discs: up to 4.37 GiB (4,699,979,776 bytes OR 4.7 GB) for single-layered discs, and up to 7.92 GiB (8,511,160,320 bytes or 8.5 GB) for dual layered discs."

By size I presume they meant that the disc itself is a normal size digital disc like CD/DVD/BD (and not how much you can get on it). The Gamecube still used a standard size for smaller discs
