What you've described is standard. You are correct in stating that MPEG1-VideoCDs are based on time, rather than filesize - which typically means up to 80 minutes playback per burned conforming VideoCD.


Additionally, regarding filesize, WMV compression is significantly better than MPEG1 and, therefore, the difference in absolute filesize...
