Is My Mpg Too Big For A 90 min CD-R??

[MicoMan]

I have just done and Mpeg 1 file which has a bit rate of 1089 with audio at 128 and 95mins 29 Seconds long.

I used SVCD Calc which gave me the bit rate to use but the file seems too big at 952 mb?

I know you can fit about an 800 mb file on an 80 but thought this maybe too big? I know I could get it on a 99 but only gone one 90 I wanted to try.

If i add it to Nero it says file 861/882 mb?? What with the two figures?

Anyone help?

you need a 99 min cdr, the 90 min= 89x of time. 99 min cr=97/98x of time. plus up to 990mb file, bloo 8)

Are you using TMPGEnc 2.59, I believe this version has a bug which ouputs the wrong filesize for non standard XVCD mpegs. That filesize is right for that length of film with a standard VCD bitrate of 1150kbps. You have lowered the bitrate but the filesize has not decreased. Try a different version of TMPGEnc.

[MicoMan]

yes but as I'm not using the standard VCD bit rate I can get more than the time of the disc. Its only 80 for 80 and 90 for 90 when the rates are 1150/224

Yes I am using TMPGEnc 2.59 as its the only full Mpeg 2 version I have!

If I try and burn this with overburn will I damage my drive then?

[Craig Tucker]

An extra 50MB is a lot to overburn, it probrably won't fit. As you are only creating mpeg1 why not download an earlier version of TMPGEnc (or I think the bug was removed in the later 2.510) and use this to encode the file.

[MicoMan]

Is TMPGEnc just making it look bigger than it is or is it actualy bigger?

I could drag out an old version if i have to!

Thanks

I am not sure, I have not experienced the problem first hand, it is just what I have read on the forums.
