Burn SVCD with nero - size problem!!!

[lalala789]

Hi all,

a question about burning my freshly-burned SVCD!!
The mpg is about 650 Mb.

I start Nero Burning Rom (version 5.5.8.x or something) and select Super Video CD. I set all parameters.

-> first question: what does the option 'try to fit to disksize'? I tried several settings but it doesn't seem to make any difference. though, I have a slight feeling that it does something somewhere... :confused:

-> second question, when I click the button 'new' in order to add the 650Mb-mpg to my disk, it starts scanning the file, and afterwards I look at the lenght of the total disk: this is lower then 650 Mb!! it's about 580 Mb!!! :eek: how is this possible??? (btw in the folder list in this screen I see indeed that the mpeg is much smaller then 650 Mb)

thanks for answering a strange problem!!!

1. donot care about it.
2. (s)vcd data use the 2336 sectors and the PC data use 2048 sectors
the display indicates the occupied sectors(tranlated in min:ss or in MB/pc-data). so 2048/2336=0.8767 and 650MB -> 570MB

thanks htc10825, this helps a lot!

Being this the case, I have another problem.
The SVCD has perfect quality, until the last 3 minutes!! The last 3 minutes i have very choppy playback when I play the cd in my dvd-player. When I play the original mpeg-file of 650 Mb on my pc, there is no problem (very fluent playback in WMP).

Could this be caused by the burning process, the media on which i burn? I use Nero and Maxell CD-RW's.

But I'll post another thread for this one ('choppy SVCD playback')!

thanks again!
