A 850MB VCD???

[savedadogs]

Hi,

I was trying to do a cd-copy of a vcd I had via Nero. But nero kept on complaining that the destination disk (a 700MB CD-R) did not have enough space...I checked and the VCD (yes VCD) contains 849MB of data...how is that possible?? How can I copy this then???

Is your original VCD on a 80Min/700MB disc or a 90Min/800MB disc?. If on a 800mb disc all you would need to do is go and purchase a 800mb disc and copy the vcd to that. I have not used them, but there is 99 min disc out there as well.

WHAT??? There is such a thing as a 800MB CD-R?? Also there is a 99min CD-R??? Where can I find them???

NOT all burners support 90 or 99 min cd-r read up on it first before you waste your money!!!



there guides on how to fit whole movies onto one 80 min cd

i usually make xvcd's on 2 discs with a 720x480 res. and 1900 - 2000 bitrate i adjust the bitrate to completely fill each cd about 789-800 megs

Your burner must support burning of high-capacity disks. If it does (mostly only possible using 'overburn' in DAO mode -> use VCDwizard or CDRdao for this) you can burn 90minutes (yes, 900MB of VCD (800MB if it was data)) to 1 disk.

I've done so already (actually, using a non-standard VCD-template in TMPGenc and encoded a complete movie of about 1h33', so I could burn it all to 1 800disk.
Tested in my standalone DVD-player, and it accepted the disk from beginning to the end as any other (smaller) disk.

A 700MB disk is 700MB for data, but you can count 100MB extra (so 800MB) if burning a (S)VCD. This while S/VCD's uses a different sector-type at a CD-Rom.
