longest svcd duration

[forare]

I use winproducer 3 and so far i was able to burn/create 30 minutes on one svcd, i was wondering if if any software can make more than 30 mins on one svcd ? with out losing the quality of course !!
Thanks

You'll always lose some quality with lower Bitrates.With some sophisticated VBR settings using tmpgenc, you can get up to 60 min with considreable quality on 1 80 min SVCD. Depends on what you expect as quality of course.

I've always found optimum SVCD to be in the 40-50 minute/disk range. I did 100's of SVCD's before getting a DVDRW. Low action stuff like The Sopranos can be done as 1 episode/disk (times vary from 48 to 58 minutes/ep).

You have to ask yourself if a 105 minute movie is worth 3 disks, and the answer is usually not. But a 120 minute movie usually is.

Or use bigger CDr (if possible) 90 & 99 min Cdr will work happliy in most Dvd players..but your cd burner might not like them.
(99min Cdr avg bitrate about 2000 for a 2hr movie!).
(PM me to buy a 99min capable CDR burner?)
