In the bitrate-tab change all settings to 800mb if you are using normal 700mb cd's.
You can also change the number of cd's you want to use for the movie, your movie is 132 min and it automaticly uses 3 cd's, change it in bitrate-tab to 2 cd's.
I think it will look like shit because maximum in svcd is 45 to 60 min on 1 cd.

Good luck, Pulse

P.S. Read Chickenman's tutorial on this, then you will understand.

I assume your talking about VCD's and using DVD2SVCD to make them?

2hr 12 min is 132min long, then set the CD size to be 1/2 that x by 10 ( 1min = 10meg) + a bit for elbow room. So it would be 660, so I would set 670 as CD size.

As I've said before, just cut the movie time in 1/2 & multiply by 10 + a bit.

I'll say it again slowly.

If our movie is 2hr and 12min long, thats a total of 132min. ( 2x60 + 12)

Now, 132 cut in half (or divided by 2 ) = 66

66 multiplied by 10 = 660

660 + a bit for error/elbo room of say 10 = 670

Sorry, but I cant say it any plainer than that ! This is basic Primary School maths.
