Nero burning problem

[doot]

Hi,

I`m trying to burn a non standard SVCD to a CDR, its 786Mb and nero says it won`t fit. The Mpeg files is about 63 minutes. But I have another Mpeg file which is 785Mb and that will fit. This one is around 43 minutes long. Anyone know why this is, I thought you could get around 797Mb on one 702Mb cdr.

Thanks Doot

Anyone?

This has happened again, I have two SVCD`s that i`m doing, CD 1 is 768Mb and won`t fit, CD 2 is 774Mb and will fit on a 80min cd.

It could be that the MPEGs that Neros says wont fit isn't properly multiplexed, so that it needs to be padded, thus winding up > 800 MB... Try VCDEasy, as it will tell you clearly what it does, and why. If your CD writer isn't supported by CDRDAO, then just create the cue/bin and use Nero to burn.

Thanks I`ll try that, I was converting an AVI to SVCD, I lowered the bitrate to around 1800 so I could get the film on two cd`s. CD 2 is fine but CD 1 won`t fit.

did you use the cut tool in tmpgenc to do the cut?

if so you need to make sure that it says mpeg-1 videocd and not mpeg-1 system.

if you cut it when it said system that is why nero tells you its too big.

It's SVCD, so it will be mpeg2

[doot]

No, I made two projects for CD 1 and 2 and used the source range to make the two cd`s.

DOH!!! yep my mistake

I have tried VCDeasy and it came back with an error saying that the file I`m trying to burn is 89 minutes and won`t fit on a 79.57 CDR. The mpg is 51 minutes and is 781 mb, which is less than the 797 that you are allowed. What I don`t get is that I have two files of similar size and one won`t fit.

sounds like the mpeg is being read incorrectly due to a mpeg2 setting.

under system stream setting was it accidentally set for mpeg-2 Program(vbr)
instead of mpeg-2 Supervideocd(vbr)

i would try to do a simple mulitplex of the file using mpeg-2 supervideocd(vbr) and then try it. a multiplex shouldnt take to long.

[doot]

I have tried a simple demulti but my tmpeg allways crashes after it has written about 12mb of the m2v stream.

[Treebeard]

that is a simple demultiplex. do a simple multiplex.

[doot]

I get what you mean now, so tried it but my TMPEG locks up when I start it.

[Treebeard]

Make sure you close down all other progs, and try again.

if it still locks up i suggest a complete shutdown and restart.

It shouldnt lock up like that.

[doot]

It didn`t lock up it was doing it but looked like it had locked up, I checked the HD and the filesize was getting bigger. Its completed but it still won`t fit onto a 80min CDR

[doot]

Tried with a different TMPEG and it has worked, it now fits on a 80min CDR

8) cool 8) glad to hear it.

I still think it was wierd why it happened, now I can watch my anamorphic CVD on my DVD player!
