Sure just change the number of cd's next to the time the movie falls between.
For future info you can tweak the time as well.
I often find that the time listed by the IFO file is wrong. So to be sure I get the right settings for what I want I try and make sure that the time is at least 5 minutes above and below the movie's listed time in DVD2SVCD.
An example. Lets say I have a movie and listed as 121 minutes and I decided I want the movie on 3 cd's. In this case I would adjust the time on the bitrate tab that says 120 down to 115 so that I am sure my movie will fall in the 3 cd section, because DVD2SVCD will automatically make time changes to the rest to compensate for what I did. So now the 3 cd section reads as 115 to 163.
You are able to configure everything in the bitrate tab including the MIN and MAX bitrate values, number of cd's and the time values. You always have the defaults button if you did something you didn't like.

personaly for me 4cd's is overkill,i have a couple of films around the 3 hour mark done with 3 pass vbr and the quality is fine.
