quick vdvd2svcd question

ok, im encoding right now...

i made dvd2svcd have 790MB (instead of 800MB) since it gave me a file too big to fit on a cdr(80min) last time)

well, my movie is clockstoppers, and it's 93min

i made my audio track 160, instead of 128, like what it said to do in the tutoral

now my QUESTION is...

will it fit on 2 cdrs? or 3 cdrs? thanks!

and how would i know how big the file is going to be?? cuz i wanted subtitiles too, and with subititles, it makes bigger files
 
It´s a question of quality.
Two CD´s is possible.
In this case you are using approximately BR max. 2613, BR avg. 2220 and BR min. 1240 (witch Audio 128)

With Audio 160 (Is to be recommended at least !!) a 2 CD Version looks like this:
you will get BR max 2581, BR avg 2107 BR min. 1210

These are values supplied by FitCD.
 
Go to the Bitrate Tab, the movie is 93min long so the line thats for movie length of between 76 and 100 (93 is between those 2), indicates the default setting is for 2 x 740 cds. Change that to your 790 and hit encode. You will end up with 2 very nice SVCD's disks.
 
ahhh thanks...

how do i make subtitles work? i used your guide, but i cant select them on my dvd player...now what??

it does extract the subtitles and everything(i saw the subs folder, and the words were in there)

but it doesnt work...why?
 
Unfortunately not all DVD Players can handle sub-titles from a SVCD. Did you make them Permanent (best) ?

Does it play on your PC with subs?
 
How ChickenMan already mentioned:
That depends on your Playertyp.
You must look into the operating manual .
There are additional information to different Playertyps also in the INet (e.g. [_www.vcdhelp.com).

So far I know, SW Player can not play any SUBs of a SVCD.
(But I can be convinced with pleasure of the opposite.:D)

CVD I can guess only:
I think that there a connection exists to the CVD Resize(1/2 DVD 352x480/576) :(.
You find this resize typ under "Frameserver/Resize to".
 
CVD is ChaoJi Video disk. SVCD was originally a Chinese invention and had a resolution of 352x576 (480). In Asia there is/was great demand for a cheap video medium like VCD that can be duplicated/ripped at extremely low cost, they didn't want to pay DVD royalties.

For the rest the specs are pretty much identical to SVCD, though the directory names were originally different. Most (if not all) SVCD-compatible DVD players will handle CVD resolution fine.
 
Thx for the infos, but one question is still open:
What means that for the subtitles?
