How many MPEG-1 File can be placed on a VCD

[Ensign]

How many separate MPEG-1 files can be placed on a 700MB CD?

What I am thinking about is moving my home movies on to a VCD

But, when I try to use NERO to make a menu page (nothing fancy just the movies titles no thumbnails) the preview window shows only one file with no title.

And if I click any other button NERO exits

Is there a limit?

Or Is it just NERO

Get a new version of Nero.

It is the new version

Just downloaded last month

Of couse the orginal question has not yet been answered.

Is there an answer

Simple Answer is 99 items be they video or still images.

But also the other limit is the size of the disk. Nero menu can be set to your desire result.

Good Luck

Nero is hardly the best choice for a complex VCD...

A CD can contain a maximum of 99 tracks. A VCD contains exactly 1 track that contains data / filesystem / segment-items so that leaves 98 video tracks.

Thus, you can have a maximum number of 98 mpeg video tracks (sequence-items) on an S/VCD.

As for still images (i.e., segment-items), they ALL reside on track1. You can have a maximum limit of 1980 segment-items.

You will need VCDImager / VCDEasy to author a S/VCD of the degree of complexity that would make you aware of these sorts of limits in the format before something else gets in the way (like disc capacity limitations).
