View Full Version : Can burn my SVCDs images with Nero

For simplicity's sake (it's hard to master TMPGEnc!) I bought the Nero MPEG2 plugin, to make SVCDs out of (mainly) AVIs files.

But whatever the source file, the result is always a 820 MB file or so, which Nero then refuses to burn, because there is not enough space on my blank disc. :mad:

I proceed as follows: In Nero I select SVCD format, then the video standard (PAL) then the encoding bitrate ("try to fit to disc size: 74 min"; I even tried 70 min, with the same result), I check some minor options about title formats, etc, and ultimately choose the write method (Track-at-once, although I'm not sure about the difference with Disc-at-once).
It always results in a file apparently too large to be burnt, regardless of the size of the input file: I tried with a 200MB AVI as well as with a 695MB AVI, output file is always around 820MB.

Can you help me understand what's wrong?

In NERO use DAO (Disc at once) for burning (s)vcd's.

TMPGEnc is easy and a better solution imho. You can use TMPGEnc to "split" The svcd file. Check out the guides at dvdrhelp.com

You have to use the "SVCD" profile to burn the mpeg file(mode 2 form 2 track). Not the iso-9660 (mode 1 form 1) track.
