In the case of ROTK, 4 hours is just the film itself, at a high video
bitrate, with DTS 6.1 and DD 5.1EX surround tracks, a doubly surround
track, and 4 audio commentaries. So the first 2 discs are packed.

The next 2 discs are all extras, including documentaries that altoether
total around 6 hours of material, not counting other extras and easter egss
on the discs.
