Why are my vcds so big?

[Dasoldier]

I was trying to convert my 13 ghosts rip, which is 668 megs, to vcd format in TMPEG and its not even half way done and it says the file is 830 megs? I'd like for this to fit on a regular 80min cd or atleast 2... what should I change around in my settings?

Standard VCD will mean 1 CD for every 79-80 minutes. So, generally a 1 CD DivX will convert to a 2-CD VCD.
