I read the article about converting a dvd to a VCD with permanent subtitles, using DVD2SVCD and TMPGEnc. I follow the instructions of the article and all goes well. Except i want to create a VCD to fit into an 700 MB cd. However this procedure finally creates a larger file splitted into 2 smaller pieces. For example an 695 MB file and an 350 MB file. But I want to fit the movie into one 700 MB cd.
While using the DVD2SVCD program, in the bitrate tab I set the values in order to use 1 cd of 700 MB for any length (between...and...) but still i cant make it work. PLEASE tell me how exactly I should set the values so as to have a 700 MB movie.
Thank you...

using dvd2svcd, on the bitrate tab, the second option starts with 50 and the default ending time in minutes is 76.. change this to 106, or to be safe 110. Also, on the 3rd row, change the times on there to be above 110, so that way there is no way the program will get confused.

I did that! I set the second row to: between 50 and 106 min...
Then i set it to use 1 cd of 700 MB but still it didnt work...
Can you tell me if I must change the min and max values or the avg.min nad avg.max values in the last row?
Have you got any other idea or suggestion?

OK VCD, don't get mad, but as i understand it, it is not possible to increase the length of a VCD movie, because of the way VCD is encoded and converted. You can't just lower the bitrate to fit more on. I think the DVD2SVCD option is a red herring, because that is a bit like an overburn feature on Nero. What I mean is that although you can try to burn over 76 minutes, say 80, or even upto 99 on certain media, not only could that damage you burner, but the media would probably not take it. Even if you burned 82 minutes on a 80 minute disk, the standalones would probably not read all the way.

VCD is limited in this way. Either that, or I have been producing 2 VCD disks for ne reason for ages!

Paul.
