It take's me 6 cd-r's for 1 svcd movie. Am i doing it wrong?

[Beautiful Alone]

Ok, i ripped a movie and it's has 6 .vob's, i encode each vob to a svcd and it take about 540mb's each. 2 vob is over the capacity of one cd-r, which is only 700mb's. so...for that matter, it take me 6 cd-r's total.

am i suppose to use that many cd-r's for a svcd movie, or am i doing someing wrong? 8)

Some people love those SVCD...but I don't see the big deal ..I only encode to VCD(nonstandard) and have only used mor than one CDR for Pearl Harbor (this I used 2).
Anyhow...on a SVCD you should get about 45-60 minutes of movie on each...so standard movies should take 2 or 3 at the most...
Are u following one of the guides here?

Why did you encode each vob? Did you create your d2v and ac3 file with dvd2avi? After making the d2v file, just load it up as your video source and the ac3 as your audio source. I set my average to around 2300 and get great results, 3cd for 120 min.

if you use DVD2SVCD you dont have to worry about anything. Once you set it up with the directory structure for ripping and encoding, press GO.

I occassionaly have problems with the ripper so when this haapens I use smartripper and disable the ripp option in DVD2SVCD.

Mostly two SVCDS sometimes three such as Pearl Harbour but the quality is excellent.

For SVCD most movies can be fit on two cdrs. If its much longer than 2 hours you should probably put it on 3. The only time you would ever need more disks than this would be if the movie was over 3 and a half hours.

You need to frameserve all of your vobs at once to the encoder and encode the whole thing so that it fits on the desired amount of disks, either 1, 2, or 3. Use a bitrate calculator to determine the bitrate needed. Follow the guides, that is what they are there for.
