VCD Mpeg1 , you can fit around 7.5 hours on 1 DVD-R?

I found this a while back in these forums

If you convert with TMPGenc to standard VCD Mpeg1 , you can fit around 7.5 hours on 1 DVD-R (as long as you are hapy with VCD quality).
Then you open your Mpegs in TMPGenc DVD Author and create your menu.
Mpeg 1 video is DVD Compliant but the audio sampling rate of VCD is 44.1K for DVD it needs to be 48k , don't worry as TDA converts the audio to 48k automatically.
Then burn to a DVD-R.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeesy.

You could in theory get 20 hours or more if you created an non standard Mpeg1 but the quality would be pretty poor.

I decided to try it.

when i set up tmpgec plus which is what i use, i noticed that it does not give the choice to have seperate audio video files. Is this a problem for playing on a dvd with dvd menu in a dvd player?

I am thinking of how when using TDA it will ask for seperate files.

Don't worry, TDA won't ask for separate files, it will just encode the Audio to 48KHz.
