    How many minutes of video can I put on a VCD? I have a movie in two parts, both can fit on one CD (approx 200mb each) can I burn these both to the same CD?

    Also, whats the difference between a VCD and Super VCD?

    You can fit the amount of minutes that the cd-r specifys (eg 700mb/80min). Thats if it is standard (video. 1150kb/s audio: 44100hz 224kbits)

    If its not standard you could fit up to about 120 minutes horrible quality


    The difference b'tween them is vcd is Mpeg-1 (1150) encoded for vcd and svcd is Mpeg-2 (2250 approx) encoded for svcd.

    svcd is obviously higher quality

    simply count up the number of minutes of your 2 files and see if they'll fit on your cd-r media!!!
