VCD onto DVD limits

[Ikarasu]

hey... Finally figured out how to get the audio and video in sync >_< Anyways... Now I found out... I can only fit 7 eps of buffy onto a DVD (3 GB) more fits... but when I try to play them in my player... they wont play.. when I burn them with nero, and do verification.. the last files seem to never work... Tried putting on 8.. same thing, tried putting up to 9 eps, and any past 7 wont work... wondering it theres a limi? Each ep is 45 mins... so that's 315 mins... It allows over 500, right? I tried using 2 diff medias... same thing... Wondering if anyone else has this problem? I'm using a pioneer A05, Tried burning at 1X, and at 2 X... Triied on pioneers RW, And I tried on princo brand, seems to be the same for all of them

Could be the software you are using to create your VCD on DVD...

I have filled up several DVDs with VCDs, I'm converting some old stuff, Using Ulead DVD Movie Factory 2, They all play for me. I used the guide from her. Still 5 more days to go on the 30 day trial. Why buy before the trial runs out when I can use the money myself until then. So far for me, No funkinesses or wierdness or crashes in MF2, It just works for me, Easy to use. Some features could be better... IE editing the video...

I convert the audio to 48Khz in TmpGenc for VCD and burn approx 1 hour total from adding to burned. Conversion takes longer.

Burning an AVI from Canopus ADVC-100 take slonger with the conversion, but results look real good.

Ikarasu,

I had the same thing happen while testing the best method to burn. It happened to me when I dragged the VIDEO_TS folder into Nero. Now, I create an ISO and burn that from Nero and the problem hasn't come back up.

I've usually fit up to 10 episodes (1hr - commercials = @45mins) per DVD-R this way. Using Instant Copy (and psi2iso) or Ulead MF2 to create the ISO.
