slightly too big for 700mb cd???

[jogginman]

I am doing a xvid from an avi source which is 29.970fps and the outputted file is coming out at like 715mb instead of 700mb not sure if this is just with 29.970fps avis or also with 25fps avis but why could this be happening? and before you ask I don't have the script now as I have deleted the files.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Alcohol 120% and DiscJuggler allow "Overburning" up to 800MB on a 80 minute CD-R

I use these software packages when burning Dreamcast software and Dreamcast DiVX. With them you have to create a CDI image or a MDF image and they will burn pass the 700MB limit, but that's if the player will read that much... but if it's PC, it works fine.

as for re-encoding to sacrifice quality, I would try burning these to disc first.

Are you sure it's 715MB?

I ask because lots of people forget a K and M e.t.c are 1024 not a 1000.

700MB in explorer will say: 716,800

Maybe Xvid or Divx was configured incorrectly and thus it produced oversized file, (this happened with some versions if settings weren't resetted every time you encoded a new file, but I think this problem has since been resolved) but I highly doubt that. I think that what iNFO-DVD is saying could be answer to your problem. Under no circumstances you should never overburn discs since it could damage your burner. If this is not an option, you should probably burn that disc as XCD http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/xcd.htm. You can also think about getting dvd-burner since they are pretty cheap nowadays.

Under no circumstances you should never overburn discs since it could damage your burner.The "overburn" method that was described above is not the type of overburn that can damage a burner. A 700 MB CD will actually hold 800 MB but 100 MB of it is reserved for error correction. If you use the methods that allow you to burn 800 MB, you will not have the error correction so the CD may go "bad" within a short amount of time.

The type of overburn that can damage burners/players is when it simply over-reaches the laser for an extra 10 MB or whatever. The over-reaching of the hardware can cause damage both during the playback and burning process.

15MB of overburning will make you guys sandy.

Myabe you can cut off the credits, or reencode the just credits?
