Nero says MPEG non compliant Why ????

I have two MPG`s created with TMPGEnc (ripped from DVD with smartripper then DVD2AVI) One is 732MB the is 944MB I used the same encoding on each

Nero 6 says the 732MB is ok but says the 944MB is non compliant, it is only 79 minutes long, so should burn on a 80 minute (I also have 99 minute CD.} Nero 6 doesn't tell me WHY it is non compliant.

VCDEasy suggests (Insists !!) that I split the file before burning, although I can`t find anywhere in VCD easy to tell it what size CD I am using !!!

Anyway back to Nero The other question is I was told NOT to burn with DISK AT ONCE so I used Track at once, don't know why the warning or why it is important, however this is not my main issue at the moment I am really concerned about Nero insisting my file is non compliant

Sorry this is a bit muddled

Hope it makes sense

Seem to have sorted it out !!!!!

It appears that NERO was unhappy because my file size was just a little too big; although overburning should have kicked in but didn't. I re-encoded with TMPGenc using slightly different parameters and the resultant file size was slightly smaller, but the TIME was the same, and NERO was happy. I didn't actually burn it, because the display size was too small, hope this doesnt make the file size too big again when i re-encode it in TMPGEnc, we'll see. I have been searching for templates for TMPGEnc, there are some around, but the one I`m after; which apparently should have ben within the program, is VCD One Disk template. Which should adjust settings to fit on one CD. The other thing I`m stuck on is the wizard in TMPGEnc at step 4/5 the % Disk size is greyed out so Ican`t change it. If I s#could set it to 100% it would be simpler, be handy if anyone knows how to `turn on` this function. Also need comment on not burning Nero with DISK AT ONCE can't find any reason for this, but would like to know

Thanks

The `movie` is 79 Minutes and the file size is now approx 820MB, it changes as I experiment with new settings in TMPGEnc, I think I`ve found a good `balance` I tried a short encode of 3 minutes this morning and it looked very good. I`ll encode the full 79 minutes overnight.....It locks my PC up completely while it is encoding (Wonder if I upgraded my 700 AMD for a 2700 AMD it would allow me to still use the PC, the rest of my Setup is very up to date....)

Anyway, my only real issues now are, Everywhere I look there are different suggested settings for TMPGEnc, Particularly the GOP setting 1-4-2 or 1-5-2 One person said it MUST be 1-4-2 for PAL, but the supplied template sets it to 1-5-2 for PAL ?????

The second issue is the greyed out disk percentage setting in wizard step 4/5, it seems impossible to access this apart from within the Wizard

I guess I`ll just continue experimenting and wjen I find good values I`ll post them for others

Just need some answers on the points I raised

Thanks

PS This is a very quiet forum !!!!!!!!!!

Very Sucinct (hope I speltthat correctly) reply

Yes I could usethe Wizard, but I`ve spent ages setting up a template with optimal settings, If I use the wizard I`ll have to enter them every time

Plus I still havn't found out how to `open` the % disk size` option in step 4 out of 5 of the wizard

Thanks
