Hello there. I have just finished successfully capturing my first material off VHS, which I intend to make into a SVCD.

I was under the impression that an SVCD could hold 60 minutes of captured material on a 700mb CD-R

The card I have is an GeXcube 9600 Pro (VIVO) and have been using ATI MMC 9.1 as the capture software, and was very happy with the captured result.

The Capture settings I used were the SVCD (PAL) profile in ATI MMC, that being 480x576 PAL 625 Mpeg-2

I captured 2 programs, 1 running for 25 mins and the other for 29 minutes, the resulting file sizes were 429 and 469mb, both with an .mpg extension.

Nero calculates the 2 files to be 775mb after i have added them to the SVCD.

Using "700mb/80min" marked CD-R's and Nero 6.0.0.11, when I try to burn the SVCD, nero shows a message that there is not enough space on the CD-R, and gives me no option, but to discard it.

Any help appreciated for this first timer :-) Cheers Chris

Well, I cannot understand why your .MPGs are SO LARGE.
I ripped a SVCD about 1h long and I had a 738,908,828 bytes large output .mpg file, and therefore the assumption "a 60' SVCD movie fits on a 700 MB CD-R" is correct.
Maybe the resolution of those two Mpegs is NOT like a SVCD but larger (e.g. 700x600)?
What happens if you convert the .MPGs into SVCD MPEG-2 with TMPGEnc? Do their dimensions change (as it should be)?

Thanks for your reply aldaco12. The SVCD "profile" in ATI MMC is automatically set for 480x576 PAL 625 Mpeg-2 @ 2.0 Mbit/sec.

Havent tried any convertions yet as I hoped you could just capture str8 to .mpg, then burn as an SVCD :-(

Well, therefore: I'm sorry but you'll be forced to use a SVCD PAL TMPGenc's conversion (or the "60' rule" will be no more valid).
