Spiderman SVCD to VCD

[leejarman]

I'm trying to transfer my SVCD copy of Spiderman to a VCD.
I can convert the .dat file into an Mpeg but the size of the file is to large to fit on an 80min disk
However the SVCD is on an 80min disk and I can't understand how it fits on there as the MPEG is the same size as the DAt file.
Can anybody help me out on this one?

How big is the file in megabytes?

[smokingweed3000]

why do u want to convert it to vcd, the only thing that it will do is degrade the quality

probably because his dvd player won't play SVCD.

- make sure you have the mpeg2 codec installed
- use VCDgear to break the mpegs out of the bin files.
- load the mpeg's into TMPEGnc with the VCD template and convert them to VCD
- use TMPEGEnc to merge the 3 mpegs into 1
- use TMPGEnc to cut the 1 big MPEG into 2 vcd's
- burn

leejarman:

because you should be able to fit about 800mb
without overburning.

And regardless, if you havent altered the .dat/.mpg file
from the spiderman release anything,
it will fit, I know it did for me.

Just load it up in nero as svcd,
and it´ll burn ok on a 80min cd.

I don't want to burn as an SVCD though, they won't wpork on my DVD player.
Sorry if I'm sounding a bit thick.

take the mpeg-2 svcd file, and single-multiplex it to mpeg-1 vcd in TMPGenc. then burn it as a non-compliant vcd in Nero. your dvd player should be able to read it now... mine does

i'm confused (what else is new)....I'm attempting to do the same thing:

I have the 3-disc svcd of spiderman. I try to copy the mpg file to my
harddrive, and then mask it with a vcd header (cause my dvd player
won't play svcd) as in the geocities help site...
http://www.geocities.com/newestmoviesencode/dvdvcd.
BUT, the directions say that the file has to be in MPEG-1 Video-CD type...
but that doesn't make sense because if you're attempting this "trick",
wouldn't it be because you're using a svcd...and therefore the
type WON'T be a MPEG-1 Video-CD ?

i'm confused. Any help or new method would help!

sooooo....

If I do this:

1. Copy the SVCD file to my harddrive
2. Create the two files with dvd2avi
3. Create the SVCD MPEG file with the 2 files (from step #2) in TMPGEnc
4. Put a VCD Header on the file with MPEG TOOLS in TMPGEnc
5. Burn the VCD with Nero

Am I still getting SVCD quality when I burn?

hey guys, if i have a 70 min MPG File and the file is 800 MB. Can i burn on a 700MB/80min CD-R Disc. Somebody said the MB only matters if you're making a data cd.

cheers in advance and hope
