How do i burn 790meg mpg on 1CD?????

[Mr Walker]

I would like to fit 790meg(I herad its Possible) on 1CD. But if i use EasyVCD or TSCV to make chapters it seems like i cant burn the file after that. What is really happening when mpg becomes a bin and cue file. And does it make any differece if i use fireburner, blindwrite or any ohter prog. when i burn the file to CD.

Its my understanding that the file size is more dependant on MINUTES on video.

So you can burn a 80MIN vedio to a 700MB/80MIN CD-r(w)...

when you burn the cd to vcd it becomes magically smaller (from what i hear.. since vcd is a mode2 cd - there is no data correction info written (like normal mode1 iso disks) so the space you save is used to write more movie data. when you make a bin with tsvc easy it will still appear big and it is.. but using the extra space makes your cd bigger so it can fit the larger file.. to burn a 790 meg mpeg you need a 80 minute disk

the minutes to size ratio was setup by the vcd forefathers. but if you get into xvcd then its better to realize that a 780 mb xvcd that runs say 90 minutes (which would mean its less than 1374 kb/sec stream [audio-video]) will still fit on a 80 minute disk. and a 50 minute xvcd that runs 900 megs will be to big for a 80 minute disk.. but will fit on a 99 minute disk

There is no magic and everything ultimately depends on RAW capacity.

An 80min discs holds a total of 360,000 sectors and each RAW sector has 2352 (?? read the CD FAQ for exact numbers) bytes per sector.

When you burn in MODE1 or MODE2 Form1 (i.e., CD-ROM), you get 2048 bytes of user data per sector. The majority of the rest of the sector is used for error correction codes. Do the multiplication and you'll get the "user" capacity for a CD-ROM (without overburning).

S/VCDs have the video tracks burnt in MODE2 Form2 and you get 2324 bytes of user data per sector. Do the multiplication and you'll get the "user" capacity of a S/VCD (without overburning). You'll have to minus a few seconds because of some overhead.
