Largest xVCD on regular CD

[menace]

Just curious, I'm getting into the overburning phase of things (it seems everyone gets here at some point when they realize that doing things by the book just isn't good enough) and I was wondering what the biggest filesize (not minutes) that someone has encoded as an xVCD and have it overburn onto a 80min CD (700MB). I read how much time with standard vcd settings but since I never use those it isn't relevent to me. I use latest version of Nero (its like 5.5.8.6.2.4.1.5.6... or something ) with a mitsume 4809 which burns just about anything I think .

Thanks!

(I don't want minutes because I think we would start the "fit 1000 minutes on 1 CD!" thread

The biggest xVCD I ever burned was 790some MB. But it was 76 minutes.

Looked good too. With over burning, I guess I could break the 80 minutes limit, but my writer wont overburn, it would break.

Menace,,
most i've ever done has been 82 mins, overburnt with nero, 5.5xx, for an xvcd, 147 mins of actual movie and it was about 801 mb'z. I tried to cut them at 798 or 799 using bbmpg 1.8.

The biggest file I've burned successfully was ~806Mb (that's approximately 845,152,000 bytes or 825,300Kb). This was the size of the bin file, and I had overburn enabled in VCDEasy. The largest bin I've burned without overburn enabled was ~792Mb (~811,000Kb). VCDEasy tells me that the capacity of my 80 min CD is: "79:57:74 (359849 blocks, 702/807 MB)". So at 806Mb, I was really close to the limit.

I found this post helpful in determining what you can fit on a VCD. http://forum.vcdhelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=88101. Searching the forum for "overburn" would also be a good way to find more information.

Ok guys, i just tried to take a 770MB (as reported in explorer not nero)xVCD file and burn it and at the 97% mark it crapped out This is using nero with my overburn max setting to 88min33sec33fr and using a regular 80min 700MB CD. How are you guys getting in the 800's? I'm using the drag and drop method(i.e vcd wizard), turning off compliance and turning on overburn. Is VCDeasy better suited to overburning do you think? Obviously I'm missing something but what, that is the question i guess?

I guess also, are things different as far as overburning is concerned when you compare how a compliant VCD burns as opposed to one of mine (2.2mb/s, 224kb/s sound, 352x240 mpeg-1) would I have better luck doing them as 480x480 xSVCD's? Anyways, food for thought--any imput is always appreciated.

help! still stuck as to why I can't get more than a 710MB xVCD file onto a regular 700MB CD with Nero?? Hell even the disk diagnostics say i should be able to get 800MB on mode 2

have you tried using VCDeasy to make an image and then daemon tools to mount the image, and then CD copy?
or, just burn the image in Nero.
either of these methods should give better results than the VCDwizard.

are you burning in MODE2 or mode 1 as mpg or a vcd {data file or video file} ?
Check that nero reports that it is burning, {iso or ascii}, in MODE2, the it should treat your mpg as {video/audio} an 80 or 81 minute over/burn

Depending on your media, your burner will detect more or less available space -- all cd-r/w are NOT created equal (nor are all burners)!

I once popped in a nasty Princo 80 minute disc and my burner said there was only 580mb available! I put it in another burner and it saw 705mb available, on the same disc!
