  1. I found a movie I want to download with from a newsgroup(dont worry no names), It is in 2 parts. CD1 and CD2. They are both 900+MB. The first file is said to be 923MB. How the hell is that supposed to fit on a 80Min cdr? I know they can hold 800 or so MB in mode 2, but 923 is WAY to large for a cd. Why would they format a movie so both disc, really cant be on one disc? And I found many movies like this.

    Once you get into (S)VCD territory, it's about minutes, not megs (most of the time.

    Bottom line: Download it and try to burn. Qwitcher bitchin' :P

    With VBR encoding its true that the amount of minutes you fit in X amount of space will vary with the bitrate, but the limit is still always going be the size of X. A blank 80 min cdr holds about 800MB's. Regardless of how many mins the SVCD is, if the filesize exceeds this then it won't fit, not accounting for overburning. These files you see will not fit on an 80 min cdr.

    My only guess is that they are intended to be overburned on a 90 min cdr or to be put on 99 min cdrs.

    Hi. Have you tried to re-encoding the files as xvcd using tmpgenc?

    I lowered the fps, worked for me; 1.35 hours on an 80 min disk.

    Maybe I'm missing something.

    I'd say you are missing a lot of frames and have jerky unsmooth playback if you lowered the FPS hehehe

    Is that missing something? I'd say so! :P

    Everliving , you mean you lowered the 'bitrate' not the 'fps'

  8. Download it, try it on a 99min cd, if not extract the mpeg and reencode

  9. My machines a little slow for reencodes. To do a 2 hour movie in VCD the encode time is 6-8.5 hours. At SVCD, it always was pushing 12+hours.
