KVCD: template averages out to almost two hours?
 

converting smaller video files
around 20min / file
using the ulbr template

and only getting to put like 6 for cd 80/min

that averages out to almost two hours?

am i doing something wrong

im using virtual dub to strip avi and sound
then encoding sound with besweet

then doing video with tmpg ulbr template

then joining the audio and video in video cd non standard with tmpg?

Re: ulbr template
 

You have to use file size prediction. Read the forum on that specific area.

?? please explain further

on the other templates it seems to work right
i use the 120 min one 120 min will fit
and the 180 seems to work correct but why not the ulbr version?

You can't just use the default CQ value to encode any movie, and expect that it will fit.
You have to use file prediction, either manually as described here:

Or use a program like CQMatic or ToK. Both available in the forum areas.

i got the cq down to 2
and turned the minimum bitrate way down
to 0 and max to 350 i think

now its going to fit 4 hours worth but a far cry from the original claim
but it sure helps save me disks

There, you have a problem for sure !
What is your script ?
Can you copy here the log of CQMatic also ?
