HELP - newbies guide fitting movie on one CD with TMPGEnc

[hrpskyrunner]

I created the template with no problems, verified that the Steam type is MPEG-1 Video-CD (non-standard) but file is still too large when I try to use Nero to burn it onto a 80 minute CD-R. Any help would be welcome.

1) how big is the file?

2) you're burning as VCD, right?? not as DATA CD....

nero's (S)VCD templates using mode 2 burning allows you to fit nearly 800 MB onto an 80-min CD-R

Just to let you know there is a version of TMPGEnc that had a bug in it, where even if you lowered the bitrate to create an XVCD the filesize would not decrease. I think it was version 2.59.

The file must be under 833mb

The file must be under 833mb

it needs to be under 800 MB.... unless you overburn...you can never fit 833 MB on a 80-min CD-R. even overburning may only add 20 MB at most.

My version is 2.59, and no matter what I change the bit rate to, the file size does not change. I will try a newer version. Thanks for the help!

Video size at 833mb will fit on a cd with overburning won't it ? or have I been overburning all these years without realising it ?

@hardcoreruss,

seems so......mode 2 burning to (S)VCD w/o overburning fits max 800 MB on 80 min CD-R. subtract the overhead, and you're left with about 796 MB.

-----------------

btw, just making sure...but you sure you have 833 MB file?? 833,000 KB isn't the same as 833 MB....

just double-checking..... :P
