right section

[StUbA]

can someone please guide me to the right section, i'm looking for why my vcd won't fit onto a cd after nero has encoded it, thanks

Its too big, make it smaller

how many MB is your VCD? you can either make it smaller by splitting or use the overburn feature of Nero though not being advised by Nero...

the mpg file is 734, but when encoded by nero to burn it ends up being way to big, it doesn't let me overburn, it just says that it won't fit

Why is Nero trying to encode your mpg-file? How big is the file after Nero encodes it?

It sounds like you have a DivX/Xvid AVI file and then nero encodes it to VCD which will create a much bigger file, but you say you have a mpg-file.

734 Mb should fit with no problem at all. Have you enabled overburn in Nero?

i have no idea, it seems to be about 200 meg more then what i started with, it's an xvid avi file which i converted to an mpg file, which is 734 mb, but some some reason nero doesn't recongise it when burning a vcd, i converted it with tmpgenc, have enabled overburning

Well, that's perfectly normal. A AVI-file in lets say 90 min encoded with xvid is much smaller than the same file encoded with mpg-1 VCD. This is becuase xvid compress the file much more than VCD. You can fit 80-min video on a 700 Mb CD-R in VCD-format.

Since your converted file is to big to fit on a 700 Mb CD-R, I suggest you split it in two parts using TMPGEnc and then burn it with Nero.
