[SVCD] Bitrate

[lukino]

Hi!
Sorry for the lame question, but i'd like to know what means that i can set the CD Size in the bitrate tab in DVD2SVCD.
For example, if i use a 2gb file and i set 800, the program is able to create a file that i can burn in an 80mins cd ?
Generally i don't really know in how many parts i should split a movie to convert in SVCD.
Thanks.

I gues you open the complete movie using VDub.
Go to the end of the movie and check its total play-length.

If you're creating SVCD :
If the movie is more than 55minutes and less than 1h50 then split the movie into 2 equal halfs. Use a bitrate calculator to decide which bitrate to use to encode both halfs to mpeg-2 (then you can fit the movie onto 2 cd's).
If the movie is more than 1h50 then check how you can fit x-cd's (3 or more) with minimal of 40minutes of movie per disk.

If you're creating VCD :
Split the movie if necessary, for a 74minutes CDR : split into parts of 70minutes. For a 80minutes CDR : split into parts of 78minutes (max.). For a 90minutes CDR : split into parts of 88minutes.
