MPEG runtime doubled!

I kinda get the picture. Thanks for the response, mate.

I get this too since I make a lot of 3500k/s XVCDs. On my DVD player it runs at super clock speed. At first it'll say 1:04 or whatever in WMP and you can't serach through the file and burning that XVCD on a VCD can't fast forward. All you have to do it de-mux and then mux the file and it'll magically fix this problem. Still runs at super clock speed but who cares about that. To save time I just encode the audio and video seperately in TMPGEnc and then mutex them. It warns me about some crap but the file works better that way and I've never noticed any problems with it.

So am I right in thinking that one 60min VCD at 1500 will require/produce 2 x 30min XVCD at 3500 for example?

[Chopper Face]

Yes. Although I'm not sure 30 minutes will fit on one CD at 3500k/s. I fit about 24 minutes and it's a pretty tight fit.

ChopperF, What make and model is your DVD player?

[Chopper Face]

It's a toshiba SD-1200 http://www.vcdhelp.com/dvdplayers.php?DVDnameid=473&Search=Search&list=0

Although it's listed as only going up to 2500k/s XVCD it goes up to 3500k/s without any problems.
