file for 1 disk vcd still too big

[bigdiesel]

hi there, i downloaded fight club of kazzaa and tried to convert it to a one disk vcd. i followed the guide directions exactly, and i had my estimated file size to be just under 800 MB's before i started the encoding process. i let the movie encode using tmpgenc and when it was done the file was
1.3 GB's has anybody else had this problem???? can sombody please help me. thanks

when u r on TMPEGenc on the window that shows a percent of disk usage the file will ta u can ust it there by lowering the percentage til it suits ur nedds

What version of TMPGenc are u using? I think one of the versions had a bug that did that.

im using version 2.5 it looks like it should encode a 800 MB file, but it ends up being much larger

Q: What's bitrate did you set in TMPGenc, and what's runtime of your video source?

There was a verison of TMPGenc that had a bug in MPEG1 encodes so that no matter what bitrate you entered it always encoded at 1150kbit/s (is your source ~130min long?)

jus started to do the 1 vcd method and it works fine, thing is the first one...i forgot to set the vcd standard to "non-standard mpeg1" its under the advanced menus and its the last menu at the top on the right.
oh btw... jus in case ya didnt know ya can tweak the volume with tmpgenc jus go to the audio section in the advanced menus and select the percentage you want the file to be at.

the bitrate was set to 588 and my souce movie runtime is 133 minutes
