vcd burning

[Zhnujm]

its driving me crazy ! i created a 733MB mpeg file wich i want to burn as vcd with nero and every time i try nero wants to write a 840MB 84mins vcd wich is of course to long.
733MB should easily fit to a vcd, i already burnt image-files up to 790MB with no problems.
or does it need some additional space to create a vcd from the mpeg file ? its already a non-standard vcd stream, but its 3:40 long.

anybody can help ?

I think you muxed it wrong.
Try to demux it and remux it in TMPG with type on "MPEG-1 Video-CD (non-standard)"

And make sure you have the latest NERO version, which is 5.5.9.17

i demuxed the file, result is a 550MB video file and a 175MB audio file. then i muxed it as "videocd non-standard" and the result is a 2GB file ??

maybe the problem is that i used 2 pass vbr during encoding ?
if i mux it with "mpeg-1 system vbr" the filesize is 733MB.
not so sure anymore, maybe i accidently selected "mpeg-1 system automatic" before encoding.

is this normal if you want to try vbr mode for video-cd ?
is it not possible at all to write such a file as vcd ?

thanks

Did you enable overburn in Nero?

Even with overburning, he can't burn it on an 80-min CD-R. 84 minutes are just too much.

just encoded the file with a cbr setting to see if that was the problem and the result is the same - muxed as non-standard vcd its 2GB , muxed with automatic its (as expected) 733MB, and if i try to burn the file nero wants to write 840MB data. (even if it shows the correct size before burning)

perhaps you chose PAL or NTSC wrongly

If this is the only prob, buy a 90 min cd, set overburn to 99 min in Nero and answer yes to overburn
