ok guys i have these movie : From dusk 'til dawn (Quentin Tarantino, George Clooney, Harvey Keitel and so on) and it's 1:42 mins long.
I'm using DVD2SVCD and the target is TWO 700MB CDs
The problem is : one of the main scenes (Salma Hayek's dancing show) is EXACTLY in the middle of the movie, so the scene will be cutted between the two CDs (i have already tried).
So...how can i manage to "move" that scene ? changing the cd-size wont resolve the problem, maybe manually setting BBmpeg to cut the whole CCE encoded stream where i want ? Or maybe trimming the trailing titles ?
Any other ideas ?

Thank you in advance

Lowering the CD size will move the cut point if you're currently using all of both CDs, which you probably are, but it will also lower the quality of the encode. Trimming off the trailers and re-encoding is probably your best bet though since you'll get a better encode and it will move the cut point back a bit. If you don't want to re-encode, find out what time in the full mpg you want it to end (wherever the trailers start), cut it to that time using bbMPEG then cut it again so the cut point is somewhere before the scene starts.
