Svcd2DVD v1.51.2.0 vrs SVCD2DVD 2.0 RC 9b

Just wanted to ask a question....with the older version I was able to put 5 SVCD's onto one DVD. It would end up being one movie with three MPEG2's and one movie with 2 Mpeg 2's. I would mount them with Daemon and then save them to my HD and add them to the SVCD2DVD 1.5 version. When I would burn them with NERO it always fit without having to shrink the finished product. I understand that the new version uses the highest bitrate for higher quality....but why cant you shrink Mpegs in the new version when in the old version there was no problem fitting 5 mpegs onto a dvd? Just a question....by the way I love the new menu option...what a great deal....added posters as my image with the music playing in the background. Great program , I was just curious about my abouve question. Thank you.

I may have got your question wrong but heres an answer:

When it comes to vanilla SVCDs to DVD the same logic applies as the old version. I.e. you can fit mpegs with a combined size of 4.37GB (just less actually) as no video encoding goes on.

What is new is that if you are converting from PAL to NTSC then video encoding DOES take place and so usually makes for a larger file.

All of this is indicated by the DVD capacity "bar".

In summary: if you are doing what you did before in v1.5 then you can do the same in v2. v2 is just quicker and does other things too.

OK thanks for the answer. I am converting the file to NTSC....which is great because the movies now play in almost anything. EVen the PS2. Thanks for a great program ...you deserve alot of credit...I would be lost without it.
