The SVCD (mpeg 2) is under 77 min. The total file size is 1.3GB (well over 700MB) - my understanding was that when burning VCD/SVCD, the size is not relevant as long as it is under the 80 min allocated on the CD-R. Is this the case? The CD-R is Maxell 80 min, 700MB. It doesnt even try to burn it, straight away saying: "There is not enough space to burn this compilation onto this disc" It then tells me the disc required to burn is a CD-RW. Why would it ask for a CD-RW and not be able to burn to a CD-R??? My understanding is that they are the same thing, except the RW is rewritable. If I cannot burn this because the file size is too big, is it possible to burn to SVCD onto a DVD-R? Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give me with this.
hi with svcd you can have 1 2 or 3 cdr's your file size pionts to 2 cdr's there must a setting i would say to sort this problem in nero? if its mpeg2 dvd compliant any authoring app will makemit dvd!
Thanks for the response Rotary. The link you pasted says "normally one SVCD disc contains 35-40 minutes of video" - if this is the case, then obviously my file would be too long. How do you know exactly how much you can get on one disc? Are you suggesting I go the other way, convert and burn as a DVD? For some additional info. The file I am attempting to burn to CD-R was originally a DivX that I converted to MPEG-2. It is such a large file because I wanted to maintain the best quality possible.
Sorry, you didnt add any link. I did not realise that the forum picks up certain words and links to a glossary.

You should be able to burn a svcd on a 700mb cd-r. I use Easy VCD to rip from dvd to xvcd. It'll make the files 777mb. Then I use DVD Rip N' Burn to burn that file to a 700mb CD-R. Works every time no hastle. Anyone know any other good FREEWARE svcd burners?
