mpeg file won't fit in CD

[postman]

after converting a movie in two 2 mpeg files, often i had one file that won't fit in a 700/80 min cd. i notice a cd just fit 813,xxx kb, sometimes i have 814,xxx kb. i still have to cut this file using tmpgenc tools to bring it down to 813,xxx kb just to fit one cd.
does anybody know how to setup the bitrate under dvd2svcd (i use default as my current setting) so that it wont exceed but just fit a cd, and why does this happen when the default settings looks okey and configured to fit in one cd?
thanks

A simple search would have brought up the solution. Just change in the bitrate tab the 800 to 794. This will tell it to encode them smaller.

thanks LeonMcNichol.
I'll try that 2nite.

Also, you might be using TMPGenc. My research suggests that TMPGenc has a hard time getting the proper sizes just right. I switched to CCE and this does the trick every time... perfect CD fits. Try CCE and see how that goes.

i'll try cce and post an update. thanks Turbinator.

The reason for this is either using TMPG, or 1-pass VBR in either CCE or TMPG. The fastest method to fix it is to do a 2-pass VBR encode using CCE. You'll get near-perfect filesizes every time, and the encoding will not take very long either.
