View Full Version : How do I set DVD2SVCD to encode to one disc?

I am trying to fit "Friday After Next" on one CD.
When encoded normally (VCD)the 2nd disc is 45 seconds long.
I tried changing the bitrate (From 1 to 90 min use one disc),
but that didn't work, it came out the same as before.
I didn't change the min/max avg, since I don't understand that.
Can anyone help me, or point the way to a guide that will?
Thanks

You are asking allot of one disc as normally the real max is about 50 minutes of video.
You are going to have to lower your bitrate to make it fit. If you are doing VCD then all the sections on the bottom should say 1150 right now since you loaded the vcd-settings.ini.
If that is the case then you need to drop that bitrate a good deal lower. Since you never said how long the movie is I have no idea what bitrate should be listed.

My usual bitrate settings were 1-78 min for one disc, I was going to lower that to 1-60 but was told that was useless since 78 min
was the norm for VCD.
The movie is 85 min, so since the settings were already 78 min,
the second disc was 40 seconds of movie and 6min20sec of credits.
Yes, my min/max bitrate settings are all 1150.
Should I change the bitrate to 1-50min per disc?

Maybe 50 is a bit light on the VCD time. I think I was thinking SVCD.
Anyway you have two ways to handle it and the easiest way is to just increase the CD size to 805 or so on the cd tab. This might mean you have to overburn your disc, but most CD-R drives won't have a problem with an 811MB(actual size if cd tab set to 805). The onlt thing to make sure is that your DVD player can handle the entire disc.
You may have to manually edit the d2s file and change where it should say 795 to 800 if you used an 800 cd size. Then just load the d2s file make sure that the cd size reads 805 and use recover from muxing and cutting.
The second way would require you to re-encode the video at a bitrate of around 1080.
