MPEG file to a (S)VCD layout

[ArniThor]

There are many burning software. What happens when you add a mpeg file to a layout and why are they different. Example: You add a 750 Mb file to a layout with one program and that is okey but if you add the file using another program it will tell you that you dont have enough capacity? Why is this?

Taken from Nero help file:

Video CD V2.0 (VCD) is a standard for storing video data on a CD so that more data fits onto a CD and interactive selection of the content is possible. Dedicated devices such as CDI and DVD players support this format. Video and audio streams are compressed according to MPEG-1, audio level 2 and played back at single speed (75 blocks per second). As this format and video/audio data tolerate bit errors in general, the space usually spent on error correction codes can also be used for MPEG data. This increases the amount of user data in a block from 2048 to 2324 bytes per block, thus raising the capacity of a VCD by 13% compared to storing MPEG files on a data disc.
