Rip in one CDR?

[chaobox99]

Is the a way to burn a whole movie into one CDR instead of 2?

Sure, DivX or XVCD. Both @ very low bitrates, i.e. low quality.

I saw that Sefy had taken a copy of the VCD profile in TMPGenc and changed the bitrate from 1150 cbr to 1150 vbr and altered the audio from 224 to 128 or something like that. Then, he got a full movie onto an 80min disc.

I've seen an SVCD movie that got 83 minutes on an 80 min CDR. The bitrate was obviously low as blocking was everywhere.

Thanks guys. I'm more into the quality, I wouldn't worry about the quantity too much. I guess I'll stick with 2 disks.

If your source is a DVD rip, you'll be surprised how low you can go and still have a very nice encoded MPEG. If you lower the audio bitrate to 128kbit/s and video to 900kbit/s you can get 103min on one 80min CDR (2pass VBR or better yet CCE 3-5pass VBR).

I USED to do this. But then I thought about it and blank CDRs are $0.35/ea. Remember CAV LDs, you had to flip those every 30min! Switching discs every hour doesn't really concern me that much
