    I purchased a copy of SVCD2DVD, and I'm currently using v2.1. I am using SVCD2DVD to burn DVDs from transport stream files. So far, I have not been having very much success.

    The problem I'm having is that the DVDs are turning out to be too large to burn on a single layer DVD. Some of the source files I am using are 780p, and some of them are 1080i, but they all have AC3 5.1 surround. The videos are about 45 minutes each, and I'm trying to fit three per DVD. I create the menu, get everything setup the way I want it, press the "AutoFit" button to size it down to 4.5 gigs.

    What I am noticing, is that when the TransportStream files are being processed, the progress bar is going past 100%, usually up to around 115% to 116%. This would explain why the DVDs are too large, because if the program is "underestimating" the size of the transportstream vidoes, it must be "overestimating" the target bitrate.

    I just want to know if I'm doing something wrong, or if this is a bug. Am I the only person having this problem?

  2. How much oversize? Have you tried the "DVDShrink" option? If they are extremely oversized can you post your log file?

    I just found out that I'm not having a problem with all of my transport stream files, just some of them. That makes me wonder if it's the source or the program that is the problem. I'm going to go back and use the files that I know are giving me a problem, and then I'll report back with the details.

    I have not tried using DVDSHRINK. I don't have it, but I guess I could always use CloneDVD, which does the same thing.

  4. The advantage of DVDShrink is that it can be called automatically from S2D during the authoring step.

    Here's an example of what is happening.

  6. When you can, post your log file and let us know the resulting size of the output.

  10. That's just barely oversized. I would use the DVDShrink option to take care of it. Another route you might try is here:
