Too big files with KVCD!!!

[Kronixz]

I'm using the KVCD tempate with TMPGEnc and I think it's great. Just two times have I been disappointed. Two movieclips, one from an animated feature, about 1 hour 36 mins long and one other "regular movie" about 1 hour 40 mins, have exceeded a 80min CDR by far. The animated movie end up at about 900 megs and the other about 1 Gig. None of them will fit in NERO on a 80 min CDR. Standard VCD is turned off and sound at 160kBps MPEG1 layer2. Obviously there is something about those two movies as they are the only ones I have not succeeded with.

Animates films are much harder on the encoder than stanadrd films because the contain quite a bit of contrasting segments. Your regulat movie that exceeded the file size was probably an action flick, or one with much detail ( water is a killer ).

For the animated flick you might want to crank up the NR filter since animated films should be more stable between frames than your average movie.

You are probably just SOL on the other one. Mabye use standard VCD?
