TMpegEnc CBR filesize too large~

[chinapoppi]

Hello;


Read the TmpegEnc tutorials on the site, but Filesizes are ballooning to almost 2gigs---eventhough Template is: NTSCFilm(VCD), CBR(1246kbs), and Audio(wav at 192kbs) ---are all chosen to output VCD file~!!!


Even using Project Wizard, and making slider adjustment at 700meg (instead of tutorial 800mg output~)--It just keeps going on up, in megs~




I am striving for a High quality, 700mg output--and it is getting frustrating after following the tutorials people write--and winding up with totally different size!~

Can anyone please help me~?

I think your problem might be this:
"NTSCFilm(VCD), CBR(1246kbs), and Audio(wav at 192kbs)"
Seems you are using uncompressed wav audio file. Try
encoding your audio to mpeg-1 layer II or MP3.

Hi wnaquino;

Thanks for the reply~

As you well know, TmpegEnc cannot see MP3 files--only WAV--I do "have" a compressed file, it is the WAV file (compressed from "original" 448kbs to 192kbs via DBpoweramp):

This is my settings






I am also using LAME, which kicks in when TmpegEnc starts to encode:



--it is suppose to take the 41mg WAV, and convert it, right?~


Since I am a newbie--this site's TmpegEnc article said to NOT use the TmpegEnc audio--and I did not, correct?


This is what the article said:

Try to convert the audio to WAV audio before converting and use the WAV as audio source. (TMPGEnc can't handle VBR MP3 and AC3 that well)

This is the Main Settings (mine):




It must be something else, don't you think~?


Thanks~

Could it be that on the system tab in the settings, you have "MPEG-1 VideCD" selected instead of "MPEG-1 VideoCD (Non-standard)" ?
