When setting the options in TMPGenc, make sure the output file size is ~800mb - that much will fit on 1 cd-r.

With TMPGENc's "Project Wizard" dialog box, select either the Video CD (NTSC or PAL) or Super Video CD (NTSC or PAL). With a 700 mg CDr you should be able to fit 60 minutes of video on the disk-with SVCD it will be less. You may have to lower the bitrate in order to get 1 gig down to slightly below 700 mg. Doing this will compromise the quality of the video.

Thanks for the responce guys but i still cant do it when i put the output file size to 800mb it says the file you are converting will be to big to fit on a disk,

and lowering the bit rate to as low as it will go it still isnt fitting,
am i just stupid or am i doing something wrong
