You could buy 90 or 99 minute CDR from these dudes.

If it's an AVI file and you want an SVCD you'll have to convert it to an MPEG. Nero can do it for you, but most people find the quality of Nero to be poor. The size of the AVI file has absolutely nothing to do with the size of the MPEG you create. Once it's converted, a 700MB/80min CD will hold around 800MB of SVCD video because it's burned similarly to how audio tracks are burned, not like a data CD.

Sterno is correct...Nero is not a good encoder (terrific burner).
Use TMPGEnc to encode SVCD or perhaps non compliant XSVCD

If your 795 MB avi is a full movie (90 min or so) then it will be better to aim for 2 or 3 SVCD's. A one disk SVCD movie will be pretty poor quality. Check the Convert (avi-svcd) and Author sections for creating your SVCD's. 8)

If your standalone works with it (many if not most do) use the KVCD templates and you'll achieve compression very similar to the DivX and XviD stuff. I think that it achieves this by using the same Quantization Matrix. Anyways, it worked for me! I converted an ultra-high quality XviD that was 1.4GB to a m2v that was 1.52GB and had the same video quality as the source. Good Luck!

I can do that with an SVCD and it plays in my set top player (KVCD won't) and is more compatible than any KVCD template. Too each his own though.

No, no, no, I made a standard SVCD using the KVCD template (I changed the template a little).....
