I'm ready to author 783megs worth of mpegs for a svcd disc. I have overburn checked, no chapter entries defined, setup my menus, and bin/cue checked. So I click GO. End result bin file is 920mpeg+ file. Thats not going to fit. Yeah, I tried to auto burn :-?

What is use 2336 byte sectors for cd images??

What is Insert comments into genereated XML files?? This should be too big.

What is adding 140megs to the bin, the menues??

TIA

I wish knew more technically about it, but it seems to me that VCDEasy pads the image files it creates. It does seem that the padding is necessary for SVCD or VCD specs though. Nero, for example, does not really make compliant SVCDs, although it comes close. You're not going to want to hear this, but my advice is to burn this SVCD with Nero. Nero will allow you to overburn if necessary and it won't do all the extra padding of the video image. Part of the problem I think is that the SVCD standards requires some dummy files to be created that take up space and Nero dispenses with them because they aren't required for playback. Most DVD players don't really enforce SVCD compliance and Nero is close enough for them.

Ur right!

I was watching the logs of vcdeasy and there were padding messages.

Does TSCV auto pad mpegs too??

TIA.

Sorry, I don't know about TSCV (did I spell that right?) as I've never used it. I know about it, but I don't care anything about making menus, so I've never used it.
