fitting vcd on 1 disc

[e-z-e]

ok heres what i did
i loaded up the NTSC SVCD template
then i made the filesize 790 mb which made the CBR 600 <<oh well!!>>
i switched the frame rate from 23.39 to 29.9
i switched mpeg-2 to mpeg-1

does this seem like it will be a decent vcd

not worth your time watching when it is done. You probaly will wished you made 2 cd's but this is a learning process for us all or we wouldn't go thru the trouble of making any vcd's.

source=divx... all i really did was use the TMPG wizard to load a SVCD template. Then I used the bitrate calculator to see the highest bitrate that i could use for the movie to be less than 800 mbs. Then i switched back to MPEG-1 and adjusted the size from 480x480 to 352x240. I selected normal encode speed and started.

even though the bitrate was low, i see little difference between this movie and the others i made using the standard VCD Template.

I will take this opportuninty to ask a question. Although i made the filesize 790 mbs., how come it came out to be 824 mbs? what is the deal with the hard disk space because it almost threw my calculations off.
