SVCD with overburn?

[iThinkYouBrokeIt]

Hello. I am authoring an SVCD disc, with "interactive" menus, as well as both non-anamorphic (standard svcd resolution) and anamorphic (dvd resolution) widescreen conversions.
I have calculated that all of my MPEG videos and stills combined will add to approx. 820MB.

This is ~20MB over the limitation of 800MB of an 80min CD-R. (Nero would say its about 82 minutes)
My CD burner is capable of doing overburn, and i have used it to burn 26mins or so on 24min discs.

But ... my question is... If there is an extra 20MB of data at the end of the disc, is there any possibility that my dvd player(s) would have difficulty reading this extra data?

CD's are cheap try it. Burn it at the lowest available speed for the best results though.

Well, I guess you have to waste the encoding time.

Run the mpgs thru rejig and shave off 20mb.

Most CD media should have enough space for you to overburn this much, but I can't guarantee that every brand you buy will have enough extra space. You could always buy 90 minute CD-Rs. They're not technically allowed by the CD specs, but just about every device on the planet can play them anyway. Assuming you overburn correctly there should be no playback problems. You need to burn as slow as possible if you overburn a SVCD disc. Anything above 4x speed may fail during overburning.
Do 2x if you can.

Your original post concerns me a little as you may be deviating too much from SVCD specs to have a disc that will play. SVCD doesn't really support interactive menus, at least not like DVDs have. DVD resolutions are invalid for SVCD, although most players aren't too picky about resolutions. Good luck.

Well, I generally use TDK or Maxell 80min CD-r discs. I prefer TDK.
The slowest burning speed my cd burner is capable of is 4x, so i will use that.

I am using svcd standard 480x480 (non-anamorphic), as well as dvd resolution 720x480 (anamorphic).
the anamorphic conversion is for players that are capable of playing it. (2 out of 3 of my dvd players can play it properly)
The non-anamorphic mpeg's will be svcd compliant and should therefore be able to play perfectly on virtually any svcd capable player.

I am using VCDEasy to make the menu...

Thank you for the reply...
Perhaps I'll do some tests to see how much I can push onto an 80min disc...
I was thinking of buying these... I can't find any info on the site about shipping time/cost.

I dunno. I'll just do the overburn of 20mb extra and i'm sure it will play fine.
