701MB MOVIE ON A 700MB DISC!

[v.m.a.n]

Anyone tell me is it possible to cram a 701mb movie on a 700mb disc the film is 128 minutes long.
many thanks

why don't you just cut off the end of the credits or something?

the file size sounds really off for that big of a movie.
128 minute movie should be much bigger. if encoded to vcd standards. If you got that file size and the movie will work on a standalone player, please let me know. Have you tried burning it yet, as far as file size most 700mb discs are actually a little larger, not much but a little. though more then likely you'll have to cut some of the movie to make it fit.

one last thing, if you just want to copy the movie to a cd for storage purposes and not making it into a vcd, then it should burn fine at 701mb, using a data burn. you could also encode it into a divx avi file to make it smaller to fit.

701MB will fit just fine if burned as a VCD/SVCD. I easily could fit 797MB on a VCD/SVCD (and it's under 80:00 too).

If you burn it as a data cd, it'll burn just fine too. You'll have to overburn like 1 or 2 seconds on a 80min CDR.

nero lets you burn up to like 800mb into the vcd format on a 700mb disc, but I've never seen a 128 minute movie fit on a 700mb disc in vcd format, not with any kind of quality left to the movie. the best I've gotten and keeping quality to the movie,using sefy's template for tmpgenc, is about a 90 minute movie.

74min CD = 740mb VideoCD / 80min CD = 800mb VideoCD, so either way you look at it, this 701mb file can fit on any CD using a VideoCD capable burning program, so I really don't see the problem here.

It sounds like it is already a divx movie. The only thing u can try to do is chop off the creds, or even a lil bit off the start.
Or wait for a fix for it

actually, i think you can fit up to 702mb on a 700mb disc without having to overburn, its the file size bit counting scheme thing..

if not, overburn (if your burner supports it)

Perhaps the original poster was referring to putting a DivX movie onto a 700MB disc as a CD-ROM...

80min CD = 360 000 sectors
2048 bytes or user data / sector (Mode1)

Therefore, 80min CD:
737 280 000 bytes = 703.125 Mb

That is, 701 Mb should fit just fine without overburning.

I agree with everyone. There is no way to fit a normal 128 min movie that is vcd compliant on one cd. Most that usually can be put on one cd is an hr or a little more considering the size of just one min of an mpg. Therefore, my only guess to how you might have done it ( make a 128 min movie to 701 mb's, should you actually be correct, is re-encode movie and having such a bad bitrate the movie wouldnt even be watchable. That i doubt.. Yet, other than that, you got something other than an mppeg. Most likely a divx or asf.
