Saving Private Ryan DVD to SVCD

[Auto T3]

How can I get this in SVCD to fit onto 2 cd's? If it's even possible...If not, then how about 3 cds? Can someone recommend a template to use?

I don't know the right settings to use while encoding with TMPGEnc...it took me 3 cds to barely fit it as vcd. And when i burned it with Nero and watched on my standalone dvd player, the video played, but the audio stopped every other second, and repeated throught the entire movie.

And is there a way to get the SVCD's to playback and fast forward? Whenever i do that it always starts the film over again.

Sorry for all these questions, maybe someone more advanced than I could help me

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

Use a bitrate calculator then use 2-pass w/ TMPG. With a movie this long id shoot for 3cd's.

Saving Private Ryan has a runtime of 170min so do a 2-pass w/

Min. 300
Avg. 1586
Max. 2396

w/ an audio of 224
