Trouble with fitting on cd's

[deadpickle]

I'm using CCE 2.64 and all the software in KEVIN'S CHECKLIST how to. The thing is that when i convert and get it all said and done the final copy is always to big to even over burn on a cd (we are talking 900+mb here). I've tryed doing this over and over but it just wont work right. So, what can i do to get the movie to fit? And also is encoding a MP3 audio to a MP2 ok to do?

Some info:
Movie: Divx encoded 250+mb
2 parts to movie / 2 cd's

ok. In Kevins check list you:

AUDIO - convert to MPEG format
For most 'known' audio codecs you can convert the audio to .wav in VDub
.: Audio - AVI audio
.: Audio - Full processing mode
.: Audio - Conversion : sampling rate - 44100Hz
.: Audio - Conversion : check 'HiQuality'
.: Audio - Compression : PCM
.: File - save as 'blah.wav'
.: Headac3he - convert to a real .wav, resample to 44100kHz
.: TMPGEnc - Convert to 'blah.mp2' using 'tooLame'

VIDEO - Frameserving, encoding & multiplexing
FitCD - determining bitrates
.: Open source, select how many & type of CDs to fit it on, select audio bitrate. Use 2520 for maximum bitrate, 1180 for minimum
TMPGEnc - create a project with encoding info with which to frameserve to CCE via VFAPIConv
.: File - New project
.: File - Video source - original .avi
.: File - Audio source - the .wav audio you created above
.: File - Output - browse & choose your file name
.: File - Load : SuperVideoCD(NTSC) or (PAL). Or kCVD (NTSC)
.: File - Load : Unlock. Then, change your settings as desired.
.: File - Settings : Framerate - same as source
.: File - Settings : Aspect ratio - same as your TV
.: File - Settings : Size - 352 x 480 for CVD
.: File - Save project : save as 'blah.tpr'
VFAPIConv - frameserving 'blah.tpr' to CCE
.: Add job : 'blah.tpr' - deselect audio
.: Convert : output will be 'blah-vfapi-tpr.avi'
CCE - encoding the video stream to 'blah.mpv'
.: Right click in the window - Add : 'blah-vfrapi-tpr.avi'
.: Double click the file to adjust 'Encoder settings'
.: Encoder settings : Audio file - deselected
.: Encoder settings : Video encoding mode - MPEG-2 Multipass VBR 3-5. More than 5 is a waste or time. Or you can use 1pass VBR, set the Q to 1, same min/max IF you're encoding less than 50 minutes. Real nice quality
.: Encoder settings : Bitrate - settings from FitCD
.: Video : Selected - Add sequence end code; Progressive frames; Linear quantizer scale; Zigzag scanning order
.: Video : Luminance level - 16 to 235
.: Video : Intra DC precision - AUTO or 10
.: Video : Aspect ratio - same as your TV
.: Video : Timecode - 00:00:00:00
.: GOP : M=3; N/M=4; SEQ header every 1 GOP; deselect Restrict & Close. But you can play with these, I guess
.: Quality settings : Image quality priority - from 5 (anime) to 20 (film) for decent .avi sources
.: Quality settings : Anti noise filter - OFF unless it's a noisy (blocky) source.
Then hit ok.
.: Encode

MULTIPLEXING - joining the .mpv & .mpa or .mp2 files.
.: TMPGEnc : File - MPEG tools - browse for video source and audio. Select MPEG stream type. Run when you're done.


Please help me out on this.
