XVCD too large...

[aabs]

Hi all.

What is better to create: a 252 x 288 vcd file with higher bitrate or a 720x576 with smaller bitrate ?
I've created a mpeg file in 720x576 resulution, bitrate 1540 kbps, audio bitrate 280kbps, it has about 1,6 GB and i can't record it on two CDs in XVCD format - it's too large despite that i've checked everything with bitrate calculator. So what shoud I do ? Create it once again with less bitrate or simply make 320 x 288 vcd ?

Regards,
ABS

Resolution has nothing to do with file size.....!

Bitrate is the only thing that matters...
