80 min = 800 mb? in The FilmMachine

[lucie]

I have installed The FilmMachine 1.2
I start the program and load the .avi-file and click on next.
Then I mark MPEG-1 and QuEnc and by the aspect ratio I mark 16:9 and click on next.
Everything fine by now, but then there is the problem (for me)
CD-Size: 800 (CD-R 80 min)
A CD-R 80 min is 700MB and not 800. When I'm ready with encoding it all with this program...one image of the film is 807MB, this is the .BIN-file
And 807 MB doesn't fit on a CD-R 80 min!

So please help

as a svcd mpeg 2 that should fit a 80 min cdr


have you tried burning it !?

[lucie]

No I didn't try burning it, cause the program warns me that it doesn't fit on a 80 min cdr...and I would make it a vcd mpeg 1

An 80 minute CD is not, in general terms, just 700 MB.
If your .cue file says MODE1/2352 or MODE2/2352 then your 80 minutes/700MB CD can hold without overburning about 805 MB of data, and with overburning about 820 MB (that last one depends on media).

try it and see

should fit just fine when loaded to a burning program

[lucie]

okeey thnx...I shall give it a try after a few hours.
That info about the cd's I never knew

[lucie]

How do I know if my .cue file says that it is mode1 or mode2?

And when I play the .mpg file at my laptop, there are al blocks in, but maybe this is because I marked the aspect ratio 16:9 for big tv?

And which files must I burn?...I have .cue files and .bin files and .mpg files

You can open your .cue files with Notepad... they are plain, formatted textfiles.
The .cue file should point just to the .bin file and not to an .mpg one, the ones you have must have been included in the .bin files by now.
Using Burnatonce, or Nero, or Discjuggler or whatever you use and supports cue/bin burning you just load the .cue file and burn.

[lucie]

okeey the .cue files are mode2.
I use the new version of Nero, but do you know perhaps where the option is to support cue/bin burning? I can't find it

[scarecrow]

"Burn image" and then load the .cue
If the .cue refers to more than one track, and the tracks have different MODE then Nero might not work.

[lucie]

I find it..thnx
But when I load the .cue-file, nero says:
An error occurred while loading the cue sheet file 'C:\Program Files\The FilmMachine\Output\Images\tfm_file00.cue' (line 1).

Line 1 of the .cue file is:
FILE "C:\Program Files\The FilmMachine\Output\Images\tfm_file00.bin" BINARY

But I must also burn the .bin-file, or not? The .cue file is just 2kb and that can't be the first part of the film

Oh and the .cue-file refers to 2 tracks but they are the same MODE, so no problem I think?

[scarecrow]

tfm_file00.cue and tfm_file00.bin must both exist and they should be in the same directory.
Moreover, you can use Notepad and edit Line1- from
FILE "C:\Program Files\The FilmMachine\Output\Images\tfm_file00.bin" BINARY
to
FILE "tfm_file00.bin" BINARY
It should work without much trouble.

You don't have to care about the .bin at all, just load the .cue via "burn image" and proceed. Actually you will find out that neither the .cue nor the .bin will exist in the disk you'll burn.

I have burned the cd and I would play it in the mp3-player, but it says there is no disc in it...so I think it doesn't read the .cue-file?
But when I look to the site of The FilmMachine it says:
When The FilmMachine has finished converting to (S)VCD you wil find a directory named "images" in your selected output directory. In this directory there are "bin" and "cue" files that you can directly burn onto cd with for example Nero.

But nero has also made a nero disc image, what must I do with this one? The size of it is 746MB.

[The_Mask]

In the images directory there are the cue and bin files. Then start Nero and go to the menu Recorder|Burn Images. Select the cue file and burn to cd. You should not load it into your mp3-player because it is a SVCD, you should load it in your standalone dvd-player of PowerDVD/WinDVD.

[lucie]

Sorry I made a mistake...I mean that i load it in my standalone dvd-player.
But I've made a VCD/MPEG-1 and not a SVCD, I don't know if my standalone dvd-player supports a SVCD, but I know it supports a VCD
