video file too big

[neoblood]

I am try to convert an avi 62 min long to an mpeg 2 for svcd, But both programs i am using (i am using TMPGenc and nero 6.6) say the output file is too big to fit on an 80 min cd TMPGenc won't let me go under 1600 bps and i need it like 1500 bps to fit on the cd i am useing the wizzard because i am not into video covesion too much and cant figure out all the settings. Nero reencodes the video and comes out saying i need a 933 mb cd for it to fit. please help

If you want to make 1 CD you need to cancel wizard and to figure the settings - no other way arround.
For now make it 1600 MB and split over two CDs

well it is a movie in too parts 116 min total is there a way i can join there and make the resulting file onto two cds?

that guide does not tell me how to split the vide to two cds.

Why not just encode the two AVIs separately and use one CD for each?

To adjust the bitrate (This was in that link):

I cannot change any settings
The settings are greyed out after I open a template
Load your VCD,SVCD or DVD template or use the wizard as usual, then load the unlock template that you find in the extra folder in the templates folders. Now you should be able to change every setting. You can also right click on the setting word and choose Unlock.

SVCD, depending on bitrate and CD size, usualy run about 45 minutes to a disc. You can make this longer by going outside the spec with your bitrates, but this can cause playback issues. If you don't have a DVD burner, either use more discs, or go VCD instead.

Source range
If the movie is above 60 minutes as most are you must cut it.
Cut it in half by
1. Move the bar where the clip should start
2. and select start frame.
3. Move the bar where the clip should end
4. and select end frame.
Select first the first half and add some more seconds so you will get some overlapping between the CDs. When encoding next part select exact from half to the end.
(If the movies is over 3 hours cut in 3 parts and so on)

First part for first CD, second part for second CD.
