i'm using latest build of DVD2SVCD to convert XviD avis to SVCD, and the bin and cues come out allright - set at max/default bitrate for 700 mb cd-rs.

I dont downsample the audio to 44khz, and I leave it at 192kbps.

I end up with propersized bin and cues, and I use Nero to burn.

What I want to do is convert these bin and cues SVCDs to vcd-Headered SVCDs, but when I extract the mpegs thru isobuster, and then multiplex these mpegs in TMPGenc, I end up with mpegs that are sized at 809mb or so,,,,, Nero tells me that they are too big.

the original bin and cues are 805mb

I don't want to have to experiment with bitrates, altho I was previously using Vdub and Tmpgenc - set to 1900 vbr to reencode the separate audio and video; but then I'd have the same problem - how to get these mpeg files down to size after vcd headering them so that Nero will burn them out.

Here's my question - how is that I can extract an mpeg that is smaller than the bin file - which is burnable- but its vcd headered mpeg is bigger than the bin file?!?!? and the extracted mpeg is too big to burn, too!

I mean, how much of a bin file does not get written to disc, and how is it that the mpeg file can be too big for burning?

I can take an existing svcd mpeg and reencode it at 1900 kb vbr with 50 quality in Tmpgenc and end up with a burned vcd headered svcd mpeg on disc!!

Do I just gotta set the bitrates much lower in DVD2SVCD?
