for vcd you cant do much(or anything for that matter) with the bitrate if you want to remain within the spec. for svcd encode cbr or multiplass vbr & use a bitrate calculator if you want to make damn sure your project will fit. nero may complain about a number of things, but if you know what you're doing it wont actually prevent you from doing anything

With 80 min. CDs, SVCD:

- 45 min video, 2350 Kbits/s Video, 160 Kbits/s audio CQ_VBR 90-100
- 50 min video, 2150 Kbits/s Video, 160 Kbits/s audio CQ_VBR 70-80

Burn a few CDs and try...
