i have been trying various plugins to produce 1cd svcd's ( it is possible - i have d/l egs of up to 105 minutes on a single cd )but at 12 - 18 hours per conversion its a bit of a wait to get something useless :(

so what i wanted to do was use an avi clip and test with various plugin combinations but it would appear that dvd2svcd doesnt like short clips

eg is an 8mb avi file 1 minite and a couple of seconds long chosen for being 1% of final required size with fast motion and cgi

what i would have liked to do is change the third entry in bitrate section to be a cd of size 8mb but when i do this the greyed out bitrates show figures of -132 to -135

so i tried changing the time in the first entry to 2 minutes but it changes the bitrate from 2048 to 55542

if i just leave all as it was the end result is a file twice the size i would like ie 16 odd meg instead of 8mb im aiming for

can anyone help :confused: thanks

Did you try setting the Bitrate to

Between 0 and 1 Use CD 1 CD Size 8

???
Even through it says odd numbers in the grey box, try encoding and see what happens.

yeah i did actually (sorry) seemed to just ignore the settings and produce a similar sized file to taking defaults
