Convert to one .bin and .cue file (1 cd)

[kEnFoLKz]

Hey. I just got a few SONY 1.3 Gig CDR and CDRW CD's. I need to know to use dvd2svcd and create one .cue and .bin file (one cd) instead of how it usually creates 2 cds. Can someone help me out. I have read many threads on here and havent seen any info on this. Thanks.

[Trahald]

just change the all the 800 entries in the bitrate tab to 1300 (or 1500 or whatever it would be) . you can also set all the "Use" spots to 1 cd per if you would like.

[kEnFoLKz]

wow. Thanks. Changed the settings and will see if it works. Tried forever to figure that out.

[Trahald]

how long have you had the burner? and how much was it? if you dont mind me asking

[kEnFoLKz]

How long have I had my burner? Why.......... anyways... I ran the conversion and got an error. It says will not create .bin and .cue file, however the .mpg is 1.3 gigs. I Can probably burn this with nero but dont understand why it wouldnt make the image files. Here is a copy of what i got. any suggestions??

just being nosy. i was wondering about buying one of those drives that can burn 1.3gb. well.. jsut for a second anyway.. i'll prolly hold out till i can afford a dvd burner.

[kEnFoLKz]

yeah, they are so cheap anymore i would suggest buying one. You can get a Pioneer A06 that will burn everything DVD+-R/DVD+-RW for like $150. By the way, i am using an HP DVD100i internal DVD/CD Burner to burn the 1.3's.

Hi kEnFoLKz

Here is a copy of what i got. any suggestions??

Please check your "VCXBuilder_log.txt". You should have an error "image too big".

Seems VCDXBuild supports CD sizes up to 449850 sectors (a little bit less than 1000 MB).

I do not know if there is other authoring SW supporting so big CDs. And what about the player?. IMHO, only a PC will be able to play them, and not sure if any SW player...

jsoto

[kEnFoLKz]

Does VCDImager or Iauthor support above 1000 megs??
