How Do You Burn A 2.5 Hr. Movie On An 80 Min Vcd?

Thanks for the response. I'll try burning the disk later; my brother's watching a movie in there so I can't use the DVD player. When I try it out, I'll be sure to add to the compatibility list.

I'll let you guys know what happens when I try it out.

Thanks a lot,

Uh oh! I went download the test file for my DVD player from the 1-step guide

http://www.kvcd.org/downloads/kvcd-compat-v2.nrg

But I got a 404 error saying the file "could not be found". Does anyone else have the test file?

Sorry about the misunderstanding. Let me clarify:

The file already fits on a 700 mb disc. However, I want it to be in the VCD format, but the cds I have only hold 80 minutes, thought my movie is 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Is there a way to shrink to fit for a VCD?

The simple answer to this is NO. If in VCD format it will only hold 80 min on a 80 min disc.

VCD uses Constant Bit Rate, so there is no way to reduce the size. With KVCD you can fit more by sacrificing quality.

thats not true, you can hold much longer than 80 min, what are you talking about, and if done correctly and from a dvd source, it will look very similar
I suggest you not try "help" people unless you understand what it is you're talking about

80 minutes is the ammount of music you can get on a traditional type music cd, nothing to do with data. (well it does in a way, but...).

(like comparing bitmaps to jpegs

)

that was just to clear up any confusion, but it probably didnt
