burning svcd ith toast 6

[scartcable]

ive got a 793mb bin and when i try to burn it using the cue with toast copy function bin/cue it says that the file is to big to fit on the cdr the movie its self is only 40 mins but it shows up as bein 80.18 mins please help guys

If I'm not mistaken, 793 MB is too big to fit on a 700 MB CD-R. Why do you think it should fit? I admittedly haven't worked with bin/cue files before but since they use the Toast Copy tab I presume there is no re-encoding that occurs which could shrink the file size.

You can fit 800MB of S/VCD onto a 700MB CD-R. VCDs use mode 2 which has no error correction so they can fit more on.

PS Try burning it with something like Firestarter, and select the 'overburn if needed' option.

Good luck

agreed
I have successfully put an 805 meg .bin onto a cd using Missing Media Burner and or Firestarter FX

hey hey are free to download so why not just try it

Good to know. Now I'm not quite as ignorant as I was yesterday.

One thing about Toast misreading the length of videos: I've read where this has happened when people had a DV camera or capture device connected to their Macs while attempting to work with files that were dragged into the Toast Video window. Disconnecting the Firewire device fixed the problem in those cases.

yep, those pesky peripherals

when i bought unreal 2004 i could not figure out why it would quit just after it loaded.

then by a fluke i pulled the iSight and boom it worked!

hahahah
