Splitting the burning over two disks
- Thread starter Jola
- Start date
Have you tried burning this as a SVCD ?! SVCD can handle mpeg2 files much larger than you think 
or search google for an MPEG splitter there are a few out there to choose from
some freeware some shareware

Hi Viper and thx for the reply.
I'm very much out of my depth here. Is a cd capable of holding more information as SVCD? Is there a tutorial on the forum re this because I can't find one or maybe wouldn't see it if it hit me in the face!
I understand mpeg in relation to music but totally lost with this movie business.
thx

The saving from using SVCD mode (Mode 2/Form ?) with 2336 usable bytes per block instead of 2048, is about 14%.
Not good enough, as this still works out to 750 Mb - more than an 80 min - and 90 min require overburn - though I've heard mention of a 94 min that doesn't require overburn - how they managed to bend the standards that far, I don't know. Can't find 'em though - maybe it's a myth like the 120 min media that never arrived

@LTR12101B i have sucessfully on more than one occassion burnt files 830 mb + mpeg2 onto a standard 700mb 80min cd as a svcd
heres some more info taken from a forum on dsl reports.com
now depending on bitrate etc you will or will not fit it on an 80 min cd ive made svcds that are 830mb mpeg 2 files and the picture is excellent quality
.... im sure chickenman and the other GURU's here in the video section can add to this

Apart from these "non-overburn" 94's (that I've never seen), you need a drive with overburn capability to handle anything over 80 min / 700Mb - and my old drive could only do 83:59 - which still wouldn't be enough!Jola said:
Just been looking for a good freeware MPG splitter - none YET!
In a new post I asked about an extreme letterbox mode which appeared to top and tail the picture. (for some reason this was moved - don't know where).
So, if I burn the SVCD/MPeg with Nero and it reports a successful burn and the result is a very narrow picture, what's happened, hasn't it decoded it?
Thx

You can get a 825,000 kb file as a SVCD mpg burnt to a normal 80min CDR without any overburning at all. I have done that 100's of times in the past. the 860 meg SVCD file will fit to a 90min CDR no probs if your burner is capable of burning them (most late models are).LTR12101B said:
As for a free mpg splitter, check out bbMPEG, one of the best for VCD and SVCD. Its just a bit aukward to use thats all. First demux your MPG file to Video & Audio streams, you can use TMPGenc to do that. Run avi1mpeg2 (the main bbMPEG prog) and click the Start Encoding button. The hit Settings button. If the file is say 1000kb long and we wish to cut it in half, then for Max Size (MB) just enter 500 (thats 1/2 of 1000
) Then in Program Stream Settings, double click the Stream type. Dont change ony of the numbers there. Then in Input & Output tab, for Open PS enter a name you want the new file(s) to be (it add sequential numbers), for Open VS brows to your Video Stream, for Open AS ! browse to your Audio stream. Hit OK, then Hit Start. Sit back and wait for a few mins.
