Ok, this needs further investigation since you should have ended up with approxm. 718MB.
Please post CQMatic's log.
For that simply right-click CQMatic's log window and paste it here on the forum.
Cheers

PLEASE USE THE CORRECT FORUM !
And no need to open two threads on the same problem. People are not supposed to read all answers taht have been already given to you.

I am almost positive to say that CQMatic found 89.57 as CQ value. Isn't it ?

How could I have forgotten about that :banghead:
That's what I get for not using Tmpgenc in a long time...

Then read the forum.
Here take a look at one of Phil's posts about CQ=87.xx
http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=90109#90109
It's easy to find it, it just took me 30 secs after pressing the search button on the top of the forum...

so am i supposed to only have the tpr file in a simple directory eg. c:\KVCD

OR does the d2v & avs files have to be in a simple dir too?
eg. c:\kvcd.d2v or kvcd.avs ??

What is important is the files that are referenced INTO the tpr. Only the avs is in this case. But it's a good habit to put them all in a place with a short pathname.

But be carefull that there is others things to check. Not only the filename length.

my dvd source is sitting on d:\Temp Video Conversion\dvd shrink temp\ along with my ripped subs.
my d2v is d:\kvcd.d2v
my avs is c:\kvcd.avs & c:\kvcd.tpr & I'm still getting negative # file size
do the negative numbers disapear if it predicting correct?

i am using a decimal in avg bitrate calculated (1090.2)
could this have to do with the problem????????
i know for a fact its not the source rage thing (i clear it everytime)

Please read.
You need to reset your project.
That's all written in Phil's post.

Do you know a filesize that can be negative AND correct ?
Of course when all is okay, these numbers are positive.

It is not but there is no need to have such a precision either.

Post the log file of CQMatic there is others things in it that can lead us towards the solution.

Look at all your "File size difference" results
They are ALL negative
Check your settings again.

Edit: Change this: C:\User Doc#39s & Settings\Win XP Lite Edition\Desktop\AVS.m1v
To something shorter.

Okay, according to the time of each prediction step (a few minutes), your problem is not in the source range.

The problem is :
1/ in the length of the filenames. Open the tpr file and look at all the filename that are stored into it. If you find a "+" in a name, this is not good

2/ the character used in these filename : the same look into the tpr project to see if you see something that should not be there (# , ' , ...)

3/ you have an audio source defined n your project. Do not do that. Only a video source.

Finally, remove the two "tpr" files taht are in the same directory that CQMatic and relaunch it.

ok I don't see any +, & have no audio defined as I'm using kvcdX3 templated (with resolution set to kvcdx3a BUT ...
could this be the problem, it says ...

Job.OutputFileName = 'C:\User Doc'#39's & Settings\Win XP Lite Edition\Desktop\AVS.m1v'

But it should say ...

Job.OutputFileName = 'C:\User Doc's & Settings\Win XP Lite Edition\Desktop\AVS.m1v'

I don't have a folder called \User Doc'#39's & Settings\
The actual folder is called \User Doc's & Settings\

So what to do now?
should I jus do what kwag said & set output file to d:\?

And what do you have in your filename ??? a ' that is turned by tmpgenc into a #39

:banghead:

Note: in the original post that I wrote, and that Rui told you to look, I wrote :

2/ do not use special char in names (no space, nothign else than letters and digits)
I think this is self explanatory, isn't it ?

A nice crappy warez shit done by people not even abble to speak a correct english ("user's docs", any better ?).

I can do nothing but urging you to remove this "thing" from your PC before to face to a lot of other problems.
Like this one :

You see, everything has an explanation in the end...
