XVCD Sizes??

[barnsey]

Up until last night i was converting DiVX movies that i had into SVCD because i thought tha this was the best quality and i still think that if you use a high enough bitrate it is. Anyways i decided to convert to xVCD instead and save some time, i used the calulator and got these values, i wanted it to all fit on one cd...

length: 88min 1 cd 80 min
bitrate 1079 audio 128 xVCD mode

i did all this and ot my surprise the file came out as nearly 900mb, am i missing something here? I know that svcd files came out as nearly 800 and fit on one cd but why did it come out as 900???

Can this be burnt as one cd or am i an idiot?

Did you encode w/ either CBR or 2pass VBR? Did you set the audio to 128k and not the default 224k?

And no you can't burn it to a 80min CDR (got a 90min one )

I used cbr and used the unlock.mcf template to unlock the settings and then change the audio to 128k, what the hell happened?

Your calculation is OK. Did you select Type: MPEG-1 Video-CD at the system tab?

Just figured it out, thx Truman... I had MPEG-1 Video-CD Stream selected when it should have been MPEG-1 Video-CD non-standard

Well, with "MPEG-1 Video-CD non-standard" you are on the safe side. As long as you encode with CBR, "MPEG-1 Video-CD" should also be good.
