Multiplexing MPEG-2 gives me a 822MB big file? too big to burn?

Hi all!

I want to mux an MPEG 2 File. The video source file is 716 MB, the audio file 86.4 MB... Together that's 805.4 MB which would fit on one CD-R with overburning... When I mux them together using BBMPEG (settings : SVCD, VBR, Unchecked Scan Offsets, Forced Mux Rate 0...) it gives me a 822 MB big file... now that's too big for one CD-R...

Why is that so? Am I using wrong settings?? Can someone post a screenshot of how to mux MPEG 2 files correctly ?

Try to uncheck the sequence header aligning as well.

The muxed files have an overhead, you can't calculate the file size directly by adding up video and audio file size.
