SVCD in two 800 MB files

[lukino]

Hello!
When I create a SVCD of about 2 hours with DVD2SVCD and TMPGEnc, I generally get 2 files, one with 800~ MB and one with 600~ MB, and they contain about 80mins and 40mins.
Is there a way to obtain two 800MB files with about 1 hours in each one, using a 2pass variabile bitrate ?
Thanks!

use a bitrate calculator...just enter the necessary info: https://www.videohelp.com/tools.php#Video%20Bitrate%20Calculators

however, they usually give a pretty high min bitrate...

for min bitrate, i would try 300 kbit/s...and max should be 2520 kbit/s

however, for avg. bitrate, you should use what the bitrate calculators tell you.

I generally use Max=2530, Min=300 and Max avg=2330, but the result is what I said
Thanks.

max avg???

you mean just avg. right??

anyways, how long are the movies you're doing? if you're trying to fit 2+ hour movie onto 2 SVCDs, you're gonna have to lower avg. bitrate to like 1700 kbit/s

I set as it said in this guide: https://www.videohelp.com/forum/userguides/111846.php
Max: 2530;
Min: 300;
Min. avg: disabled;
Max. avg: 2330;
Is there anything wrong ?

guess not...

just use those bitrate calculators i linked to..once you enter in how long the movie is, they should tell you the bitrate you need to use

Ok, it says me calculated bitrate = 1708 and max bitrate = 2556.
Now I put 2556 instead of 2330, but in which field do I write 1708, Max or Min ?
Thank you

[poopyhead]

are you referring to max or max avg.???

why don't u do like you did before?

max = 2556
max avg. = 1708
min avg. = disabled
min = 300

see if that works...

how long is the movie, btw
