OK, so I did the usual converting of an Xvid video to KVCD, came out with a file 705mb big, thought sweet, this'll work on my 800mb cd.

However, when I write cd and it's about to burn, it tells me there ain't enough space on the cd? WTF is wrong?

The file properties are as follows:

98mins 48sec
705mb
704x480

Any help?

How did you mux the file ? With TMPGEnc or BBMpeg ?

How do you burn the file ? With Nero or other thing ? In VCD or SVCD ?

Are you sure your disc is empty ?

mux = TMPGEnc
burn = Nero as a VCD (Compliant CD Unchecked)
disc empty = yes

Any other solutions?

I have trimmed the end credits off but I can't seem to trim the opening logos and such, I'll have another go now (I believe it is only a few mb out from fitting on).

You possibily did a mistake under tmpgenc.

Demux the video if you do have anymore the m1v and the audio file.
Then remux but being very carreful to the encoding mode : you have to change it manually to "MPEG1 Video-CD (non standard)" after having load the source.

How do you go about Demuxing?

Can I do this in TMPGEnc?

EDIT : Got it, hopefully this will work, I'll reply with my answers.

Thanks anyway though.

Demux with TMPEG, and if you're going to mux with BBMpeg, use this screen as a guide:

WAHEY! success, sorta..

anyway, I demuxed it in TMPGEnc, then I was gonna remux in TMPGEnc, but my PC was freakin out, so I tried bbmpeg. Now, I didn't have a clue about what to do, so... I used the GUI that someone on this forum created (sorry to whoever it is) and that was simple to use.

The file came to 699mb and now it fits

However it doesn't play on one of my dvd players - green filter flickering over the top and the frames jerk. I'm hoping it works on my other, newer, dvd player though.

At least it's burned, thanks all

Hey pip,

Go here: http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2464 and download it. This way, you can test what resolutions play in your standalone
