TMPGEnc reports that the resulting file is about 4GB in size?
 

Hi Guys

I've been using TMPGEnc for many months now to convert my DVD Rips into xVCD format and in most cases have ended up with normallt pretty good results using a slightly modified "standard" template.

Here's my normal settings for converting a NTSC Film in 2:1 to a single VCD ......

Template = NTSC Film
Input Format = 2:1
Output Format = 16:9 NTSC
Sharpen Image = 60 on both sliders
Clip Frame = Keep original aspect

I then use the fit-to-cd option to ensure that the film fits onto one 80min CD.

The above normally gives very good results (Depending on the length of the film) but I thought I'd give the Kwag templates a go to see if I can improve the shortcomings such as the occasional blockiness in action scenes or dark/misty shots.

I've downloaded the "NTSC - Plus(704x480)" template, loaded it into TMPGEnc, unlocked it and then saved it.

The problem I have is that when using this template an 85 min film, TMPGEnc reports that the resulting file is about 4GB in size 8O .

I'm probably overlooking the obvious and I apologise if this is already covered in an FAQ, but does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?.

One other thing - When viewing the vid through the clip frame option, selecting the "Keep Aspect Ratio" looks very different to using the standard template - Prob something to do with the resolution !?

Cheers :)
