Vcd Problem

**50 Cent** · 09-11-2003, 09:31 PM

i have been trying to make a VCD with Nero (6 ultr Edition) but so far i am unable to do so. the reason for this is that the file i am trying to burn is 659MB and i have got Blank CD which size 700MB but when i drag the file into Nero the file converts into 826MB and therefore i am unable to make a VCD.

what do i need to do to get rid of this problem!!!!!!

Your are gonna need to split the file, and alos nero is recommended to encode.

is it an mpeg or an avi?

its a AVI file but does it really make any difference.

I am assuming that you have an .avi file. the file must converted to a .mpg1 for a vcd, mpeg2 for a svcd. These make the filesizes larger (although vcd's do not work on filesizes) end point for a vcd is said to be hard at around 800MB, but that depends on alot of things. If you are set on using just 1 cd edit out the start and end credits, that may bring it down enough.

Where it talks about encoding just change that to vcd instead svcd If you just wanna make a vcd, If you want it to fit on one cd same principle apply as the editing part with virtual dub. just select a start and end point.

i used VirtualDub as it was on website and still the file wouldnt fit on 700 mb disk!!
