Well, if you really read everything on this site you would know why a 2 hour movie does not fit on a (S)VCD.

dude how did I know someone would post something stupid like that, I know all about big files and all that, if you would read the stupid post again maybe then answer correctly that would be great. I posted on how to make vcd's and whats the fastest process and NOT to send me to OTHER PLACES ON THIS PAGE but you instead went and sent me to other places whats this?

Well, I am *FAR* from being an expert, but this works for me:

(1) Use SmartRipper to rip the .vob's
(2) Use DVD2AVI to get the video
(Dont use this to make a .wav)
(3) Use VOB2AUDIO to get the sound
(I think this gives me better quality sound than DVD2AVI)
(4) Use TMPEGnc to mix the .d2v & .wav files using the template's included with TMPEGnc. (ie VCD or SVCD for NTSC)
(5) Use the bitrate calc to determine the bitrate for the movie I am encoding to 2 CD-R's.
(6) After TMPEGnc finishes the file (10 Hours) I split the file in half using TMPEGnc's file splitter. Repeating about 1 minute of the first disk on the second disk.
(7) Burn with NERO settings on SVCD (standard compliance OFF)

Now I am trying to get fancy, and add the THX clip to the start of my SVCD's, and after that I want a menu to come up, with a selection to play whole movie, or goto chapters. And I wanna add a "Please Flip Disk" to the end of the first disk.

Hope this helps you, if not, look to the left and READ EVERYTHING again. Thats how I finally figured it out. I have made my share of "coasters" learning this.

[EDIT: Forgot to add the part about splitting the MPEG]
