What's the best way to "fit" MPGs onto several CD'

[kschang]

Here's a little dilemma I have. I was ripping/encoding TheMatrix (just as a test) and I ended up with 2 files: Part 1 at 555 MB, and part 2 at 804MB.

Obviously a bit of surgery is needed to fit these two files onto 2 CD-Rs (right now all I got are regular 650MB ones, though my burner supports overburning).

Are there tools that makes this as painless as possible, like a bit of drag-and-drop, a calculator, then click and it generates the two files with appropriate length? Or must I attempt manual surgery with MPEGTools included in TMPGenc? Those tools deal in time, not filesize, and I know there must be a bit of header space used in VCD... So only 600 megs can be used...

1) (S)VCD allows up to 800 MB on a 80 min CD WITHOUT overburning...(actually it's a little bit less because of overhead...but i've gotten 795.57 MB to burn w/o overburning)

2) using tmpgenc's mpeg tools isn't that hard.....if you don't want uneven filesizes, just cut the movie in half time-wise..... basically, from the total filesize, you can see how many CDs u can fit it into and divide the total movie time by the number of CDs.

edit: may require some 2nd grade math
