tutorial divx on 1 vcd problems

[xalemo]

Hello all,
I am following that newbie tutorial.
This is what I have done so far: when I follow the tut step by step, it creates a mpeg file small enough to be burnt on one vcd but plays stuttered on my standalone player. This is when I choose vcd non standard in the mpeg settings of tmpgenc.
I tried as a standard vcd, with just a piece of the movie, and that was fine once in vcd, using quite a low bitrate, but still a good picture.
The problem is that when I convert the whole movie, the file size is over 900M. Even with a CBR of 650 !
I believe that I need to select the std vcd settings, but the others options won't allow me to reduce the filesize.
I tried cbr and vbr but the file is always huge once in mpeg.
Please help me.

what I don't understand is whatever bitrate value I choose, the file is always over 900 M, why is that?

You must choose vcd non standard under mpeg settings or else will tmpgenc "pad" so the mpeg always will be the standard vcd bitrate.

thanks for your reply.
The problem is that if I chooses non standard, it fits on one cd but won't play normally on my standalone dvd player, sort of jerky.
Any ideas?

your dvd player only reads VCD what you are doing is a XVCD

OK, so does it mean you can't fit a movie on one cd unless you convert it to XVCD and just VCD as stated in that tutorial?
I thought it was quite strange when was advised to choose non standard vcd.
Does it mean that tutorial has to be updated to how to burn a movie on one XVCD instead of VCD?
regards

the tutorial is ok
the problem is your standalone DVD that ONLY supports VCD/STANDARD
(like for example LG3520)
anything other than vcd don't work
