ran out of room on cdr for svcd movie

[videoman882]

i have a big problem i downloaded a movie took me all week 110 files. the movie is in svcd format. i burned it as a bin file and it comes in 2 parts part one burned ok 79 min on a 80 min 700 mg cdr. burning it as a svcd gave me only 40 min on the cdr even though length is 79 min onthe movie. after 40 min the disc stopped . now i have a problem i would need a very long cdr to make up for the extra 39 min that is missing on part 1 anyone have any ideas would a 800 mg cdr do the trick if ther are any? please help

Nope.I don't belive they make CD-R's that big,and even If you were to be able to find a 800MB CD-r.It most likely still would'nt be enough.Heck a 1-gigabyte CD-r probabley could'nt do the job.That's the crappy thing about SVCD format,It's pretty great looking quality-wise.But very inconvienent,as a SVCD can only hold like 30-35 minutes on a CD-r.

Now according to what you're saying,part 1 is about 80 minutes right? So If you had a program like Nero 5.5 you could then re-encode all of part 1 into VCD/Mpeg1 and then be able to put part 1 on 1 CD-r.Which is about the only way you'll be able to fit It on 1 Cd-r.

Otherwise You'd need to put the rest of the movie on a few other CD-Rs.There's no way you'll be able to fit it on 1 disc in SVCD format.

if you look on www.ebay.com I have seen some listings selling 90 minute cd-rs or 800 mb cds...

With a Infinti CDR99 disc you can fit at least 49 minutes of 2496kbps video which will play on any pc dvdplayer i.e. windvd or powerdvd.

Personnal i don't like going under 2000kbps(60.5minutes for a cdr99) in svcd, gets too blocky.

Just one thing to note, many cdr burners do not support the cdr90 discs and fewer support cdr99 discs. The discs themselves are out of spec AND overburned, so you have to be sure that your burner has been tested with that size of disc before you try it. I'm not sure if playability is an issue on dvd players, but you'd want to do research before picking those up. I'm not sure if there is a real danger of damaging hardware with these discs or if it's just speculative (and just burning programs covering their asses in case you screw something up).
