Max size of Svcd?

[ckxd69]

A SVCD can contain from about 35 to 80 minutes video/CD(740 MB on a 74 min/cd and 800 MB on 80 min/cd)
From what I understand a Svcd can only be 800mb it 2 work, Iam wrong? Please post any ides or thought on this.

Firstly you have to understand what a SVCD is defined as. If you check around - including the "What Is" Guide on this website, you'll find out that a SVCD stream is mpeg2 in a framesize of 480x576 (PAL @ 25fps) or 480x480 (NTSC @ 29.97fps) - however the determination of file size is dependent on which birate you encode or capture at. If you use the max. bitrate of 2.600kb/s you will get about 35mins on a 74min(650MB) 43min with a 80min (700MB) CD. If you lower your bitrate the file size will be smaller.

If a SVCD had in the end a file size of many GB you would still be able to play it (for example from your hard drive).

Thanks 4 the help, But could u play that SVCD (that is a few gbs) on a standalone dvd player?

The answer is "NO" as the media can only hold up till now 845MB (+90min CD-R's). However there have been reports that people have used a DVD-R(W) recorder and DVD-R media (4.6GB) to record SVCD's on to. If this works (that would mean over 4hours of SVCD on 1 disk) I cannot say (yet).

I have ordered from here 90 min. CDR's, there still fairly new, I have had prob with my HP 8X32X4 9200I Burner my friends plextor 16X40X12 works great with nero over burn. I haven't yet got nero to work with my burner to burn 90 min. I can put nearly 50 minutes of SVCD per disk. They play great in my Sampo DVD Player Stand Alone. I am open for suggestions if anyone has tried anything.

GOOD LUCK

Not that much more expensive than 80min CD-R's - however I have only seen them in 25er packs. You should also see that your CD-R writer and DVD Player can take these 90+ CD-R's.
