HELP, small file becomes large!

[uigrad]

I'm using VCDeasy to make a .bin/.cue file, and using Nero to burn it. Apparantly, some problem in my system is preventing me to use VCDeasy to burn. It gives errors every time I try.

I created a file that is 780 MB, and brought it into VCDeasy. VCDeasy has a line near the bottom that says "CD size: 790MB". I look at the last tab, the one that shows the directory structure for the CD when read in ISO mode. All the sizes look normal.

Then I start the process. The .bin file created is 901 MB! Nero won't let me burn a file tha large. What happened!

do you get a pop up that says autopadding required for this file?

that probaly is the problem your 800mb file goes to 900mb etc....
try this to solve that problem
............................
autopadding will add size to your file, so your 799mb svcd will be 850-900mb and will not fit on your cd = BAD.

i as well have had this problem latley with tmpg encoded files (dont know why and i have tryed to change settings etc... i reinstalled and couldnt change it)

i usally only encode svcd so to fix this i did
open tmpg , close wisard (if it pops up)
file > mpeg tools > de-multiplex > browse for file
double click on the two files to save 1. audio and 2.video
then when thats done (it will take a few mins depending on your computer speed)
then click on Multiplex
use the drop down menu and select mpeg-1 (non-standard) for vcd
or mpeg-2 super vcd vbr for svcd
click add , and then find your two files you made with de-multiplex
(save to a new name so you dont delete the orginal file untill you can check the new saved file) just in case
click run and in 3-8 mins you will have a new file that will have no more autopadding needed.
load the file in vcdeasy or tscv (what ever you want to use) and add chapters menus etc... and your good to go
