CD-r capacity?????

[Mr Walker]

I've seen many people talking about that you could fit nearly 800megs on an 80min cd.
This sounded relly good and as i had an xvcd-file of 790meg i began to burn this with nero, didnt work. Then i tried with vcdeasy doing chapthers and then burn with cdrDao, didnt work either and here the bin-file become 880megs.
Have i got everything completly wrong or what's the deal.

You can fit 739 Mb of video (mpg) on 650Mb CD
798 Mb of video on 700Mb CD
and 900Mb to 950 Mb on 99min CDs depend of your CD Burner.

Also make sure your packet size is 2324 bytes per packet and NOT 2048.

Where can I see/change the packet size.

You need to remultiplex your MPEG file. Use the multiplexor in TMPGEnc tools and change the setting to "MPEG-1 Video-CD (non-standard)".

When burning in NERO simply de-select 'Create Standard Compliant CD' your 780 meg file will now fit on an 80 CDR

Seems like a lot of post about the same problem lately. You need to go to SET UP before you do the encoding. Under system tab, make sure that it is set to Mpeg video CD (Non-standard) when you are making XVCD. Any other setting, Nero will create a huge file, then tells you that it is too big.

If it is too late, you already made this 780 mb file and Nero is telling you it is too big, don't worry, just go to Tool section, and run the file thru MERGE & CUT, don't need to cut anything, just make sure Mpeg 1(Non-standard)is selected, and run the process. This will only take 5 minutes. Don't need to De-mux & re-mux. You'll be surprise that now Nero will burn the file without any problem.
