TMPGEnc & Nero

[JoNty]

I use TMPGEnc's auto bitrate setting for VCDs, then I use VCDImager to generate an image to burn with Nero, but when I try to make a VCD with Nero, the MPEG doesn't fit. The size bar's well past the 700MB limit. This also happens if I use the auto bitrate setting to fit an MPEG onto an ISO CD.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks in advance.

A VCD image can be up to 800Mb for an 80 mins CD. This is possible because they are burnt to CD in mode2 which omits a lot of extra error protection data required for normal mode 1 data CD's. The error protection is already present in the mepg stream so is not required.

Here's a guide on CD-R(W) capacity's:

Why are you doing so?
VCD always must be set at bitrate 1150kbps. When you're creating VCD and you go below this bitrate and you then use VCDimager to build a cue/bin (or nrg) cd-image, VCDimager will 're-padd' the mpeg so it _does_ match the 1150-bitrate streaming. So this way, your vcd will go bigger than that 700MB you mentioned, and possible even bigger than 800MB.

Anything other than 1150kbps will be a XVCD. :P
