svcd onto dvd disk

[vesuvius]

I have a svcd in two files but they are to big for 80 min cdr so i want to put it onto a dvd,i am using nero 6 ultra edition.

That's what I do too when I want them all on one disc. I put it on DVD.

SVCD files are not compliant with the DVD spec.

You'd need to convert the files, or make a non-compliant disc.

Have you had a look at SVCD2DVD? - I'm sure there are guides for it on this site, and I think it does the conversion to DVD spec for you.

I just join the MPEGs, demultiplex and author as a new DVD with IFOEdit. No other processes are required - although I think there are still issues with IFOEdit and NTSC movies.

There aren't too big. You just assume they are.

For SVCD and VCD, you can put 800 MB on a standard 700 MB CDR. No overburning involved (just no error correction).

Putting SVCD onto DVDR isn't simple, since the resolution isn't standard, it's much simpler to get up and change the disk 1/2 way through. Besides, just work from your original DVD and back that up to DVDR???

So would SVCD2DVD help me put multiple TV shows on to one DVD? I've got 100gigs of MPEGs that I want to watch on my DVD player. I've been trying to figure out how to make this work

any suggestions? Please!?

Thanks!

It depends really - are the MPEG's in the form of SVCD?

Depending on what format they're all in - you may only need to author, rather than re-encode as well.

I'm no expert on DVD authoring though - I'd have a look at the guides for authoring a DVD - maybe look at ones that refer to episode-type DVD's.
