TPMGEnc Encoding

[The Real Asmodeus]

Sypnosis:
----: Using Sefy's Ultimate DVD to VCD guide
---> Rip DVD with DVD Decrypter (default settings)
---> Frameserve with DVD2AVI (default from guide)
---> Encoding With TPMGEnc to Video-CD NTSC (MPEG-1 352x240 29.97fps CBR 1150kbps, Layer-2 44100Hz 224kbps)

Question: I know you can fit 80 min or 807MB on one CDR, But how can you tell if the output file is going to fit? TPMGEnc only shows the Frames and not output file size. Is there a way to tell or a guide to figure this out? I don't want to encode for 6 hours only to find that the file is 810MB, and won't fit.

Any help would be appreciated.

--->TPMGEnc source range for the frames are 0-143681 and at 1:19:00

I know because its 79min it should fit, but I only have EZCD Creator 5 platinum and it's a picky whore if the files too big, even though the time is within limits.

ANYONE?

Use the Project Wizard. The last page before you start encoding shows the estimated file size.

Also, you may want to try VCDEasy (freeware) for authoring your VCDs instead of EZCD Creator.

A Little Addon: when burning full standard VCD, 1min=10mb, so if your movie is 85min, the file size will be 850mb, you need not worry about sizes
unless you are doing a non-standard format.

video 1150bps
audio 224
total bps 1374
79mins *60(seconds)*1374=6512760\1024\8
795.01mb
if using vbr, actual file size maybe about 5% under estamated size in wizard in final tmpg screen
