KVCD: Problem with LBR template, does not fit one disc?

I have a divx that is 129 minutes long @ 23.97fps. I wanted to put it all on one disk. I loaded it into tmpgn with the lbr template and encoded. The file came out to 93 minutes and I could not burn it on 1 disk. I made no changes to the lbr template, except for unchecking IVT.
Was there something else I need to do?
Thanks
John

Hi jrv331,

When you say 93 minutes, what was the actual file size of your encode?

Kwag,
Maybe Im missing something here. I thought with the LBR template you would not have to make any changes as long as your source was under 180 minutes. Do you still have to calculate the output size before encoding?
Thanks
John

It all depends on the source. If the source is wide screen, from DVD and 23.976fps, then most likely it will fit. If it's not DVD source, like captures or AVI ( mpeg-4 ), then it probably won't fit with the default parameters. Your best bet is to always use the file prediction method.
