Encoded video too large.

[puppetman3935]

Hi

My problem is when trying to make a non-compliant SVCD eg. 480x480 but at 25fps. I reduce the bitrate to fit onto an 80min CD-R and encode the video. The resulting file size is about 780MB.

The problem is when dragging into Nero. Nero checks and says it is non-compliant, fine, but when I click on continue Nero indicates the file is too large for the CD.

I am trying to preserve resolution and not convert from PAL to NTSC.

Am I missing something here ? Any ideas would me most appreciated.

Thanks

780 MB is OK for an 80 min CD. I don't use nero, try VCDEasy. You can create a bin with VCDEasy and burn that with nero if you like.

I highly doubt that any stand alone DVD player can properly handle a 25fps 480x480 SVCD disc.

It just dosn't make any sense!

PAL SVCD is 480x576 at 25fps
NTSC SVCD is 480x480 at 29.970fps or 23.976fps with 3:2 pulldown

You already have NTSC resolution if it is 480x480 so you might as well convert the frame rate to NTSC spec.

Otherwise you are asking for problems.

I missed that, you're right.

It can probably still be authored with VCDEasy, it may not play though.

The problem is when dragging into Nero. Nero checks and says it is non-compliant, fine, but when I click on continue Nero indicates the file is too large for the CD.

Whenever I've had this problem, I ended up using the wrong Stream Type under the System tab of TMPGEnc (when you press the Setting button). I've ended up using "MPEG-2 Program (VBR)" instead of "MPEG-2 Super VideoCD". To fix it I just re-multiplex the mpeg as "MPEG-2 Super VideoCD".

Afterwards it should fit in Nero. But as FulciLives said it might not play on most standalones.

I second this. Your DVD player should do the NTSC-> PAL conversion on the fly.
