Does 740 CD size in DVD2SVCD mean 74 minutes or 740 MB? and 800 is 80 minutes or 800 MB?? Thanks

740 = 650 MB/74 min. CD-R
800 = 700 MB/80 min. CD-R
900 = 800 MB/90 min. CD-R

SVCDs are ISO mode 2 (no error protection info per sector) so more data fits on the CD in this mode.

Just to clarify a bit. Yes those numbers are MB's. As RB said they will burn fine. Just remember most times that in mode 2 minutes=MB's x 10. So you can burn 800+mb's on an 80 minute CDR.

This info can be found in the Q+A and the Quick Guide and FAQ.

@markrb:
Obviously a kind of typing mistake, but to provide misunderstandings, I have to correct you :):
In mode 2: MBs = minutes x 10
