ULBR PAL: this template is suppose to fit 360 mins on 80 mins cd, I have a movie that is 200mins, what cq level can I go upto when using the ulbr template to fit the 200mins onto a 80 min cd.

You'll have to use file size prediction.

isn't there another way?? hate file prediction takes to long. What about the kvcd predictor can that help predict what cq level I can go upto?

Yes it can

Using the Predictor doesn't remove the time-consuming thing, which is encoding the sample

kwag, whats your recommended cq value I could go upto?

KVCDPredictor tells you that automatically. It suggests a starting value.

cheers kwag, only prob I have now is the sound, when I go to convert the ac3 in headac3he it says that the mp2 file is 201MB but in brackets next to the file size it has 4098mb how come??

That's because HeadAC3he creates a temporary file and processes that into .mp2. You can change that by selecting "Dumb" instead of "Float" under destination, but then it will take much longer to process.
