i have been trying to overburn using nero but the avi file will not play when i am done it says invalid format.....does that mean my tdk velocd 8432 burner will not overburn???????

Why overburn.....?

I have been using TMPGEnc 2.02 (SuperVCD NTSC template) set Motion Estimation Search (Fast) and have been able to burn SVCDs (yes, SVCDs) nearly 2 hours in length at high quality. They play perfectly in my Pioneer 525 and all the Apex units I have tried them on. (I tried the same settings on version 2.01 and got much larger MPEG-2 files which would not fit on one CDR. For some reason, 2.02 creates a small enough file to let me fit many full length movies on a single CDR. Remember....these are SVCDS, not XVCDS.)

i just want the avi files to burn to cd....i dont want to play on my dvd player and i wamt the file on 1 cd.....so i think i need to overburn but i dont know how???????

Perhaps you dont have the right codec...can you watch that .avi off your computer hard drive?

[sillyrabbitt]

I think he is trying to sat is putting the avi on a data disk...No you can't its to big..You need to make it packed into a rar file..To do that use winrar..Then it will be small enoght to fit on the cd..

hope that helps,

I know he is trying to save the avi....but using the MPEG2 compression I mentioned above, I have saved TWO MPEG2 files which total 804 MB on a single 700 MB CDR. MPEG2 uses very good compression and this would make more sense then breaking it into RAR files which could not be viewed from the disc.
