I am tyring to capture/encode dirctly to mpeg II to put an an XSVCD
the settings I have a 352x240 at 1900kbps
it kida looks like sh*t but if I make the bitrate any higher the 56min file dont fit on a CDR (80min)
are bitrate calcs correct if the res is not 480x480???
all I need is 45min on a svcd at the higest poss res/bitrate i can get but so far i am at a loss

I'd try half D1 (352*480/576 ntsc/pal) at 2100 kbps video (224 kbps audio). Even at full SVCD res it ought to look OK at that bit rate. The adv. with half D1 is that it's also DVD compatible, if you go for 48 kHz audio.

I played around with this before I got a DVD burner.
I used the DVD template in TMPGEnc and selected 352x480 as my resolution. Make sure you use 224kbps MP2 sound and make sure that the video bitrate doesn't go above 2520kbps (I usually would never go above 2450kbps as I've read that pushing the bitrate above 2450kbps video + 224kbps audio is pushing the transfer limit of the CD format so even though people say 2520 is fine for SVCD etc. it might be too high ... at least in theory).
The benefit of this was that it worked on my DVD player playing off of a CD and the file is DVD compliant so when you get a DVD burner you can extract your video and audio and put it on a DVD disc.
This is probably the best method if you are stuck with only a CD burner.

P.S.
If you can't raise the bitrate above 1900kbps because it otherwise won't fit then try a 2-pass VBR encode. Set the MIN to 300kbps the AVG to 1900kbps and the MAX to 2450kbps
One last note ... if I recall correctly (it has been awhile) I burned these using NERO and selecting the SVCD setting and checking the ignore compliant checkbox. I think I used the NeroExpress tool too which makes it a bit easier."The eyes are the first thing that you have to destroy ... because they have seen too many bad things" - Lucio Fulci
