strange problem with file sizes

karabelas · 22nd January 2002, 17:36

I have used dvd2svcd with 5 movies without any problem.
I usually stop the process before bbmpg and
then I use bbmpg to cut and multiplex in order to burn the movie to 2 cd's.
Then i use Nero to burn them in super video cd format.
The last time I did that I had this strange problem:
although the two parts after the cutting and multiplexing
were 716MB (approx. 740.360.000 bytes) and 739 MB (approx. 770.000.000 bytes)
they couldn't fit into a simple cd (740MB) into Nero as if they
were 741MB and 770MB!
I finally managed to burn them by cutting the start and end sequences
but I do not understand what happened! Any help needed!
Thanks in advance.

Did you enable Overburning in Nero???
If not, you should do it and ignore any warnings about too small cd size.

the problem was that i chose a wrong parameter
in bbmpeg.I chose mpg2 format though i should
have chosen svcd format.
