trying to do a vcd in Nero but my 800mb file is stated as being 840mb but only 700mb in the scale at the bottom. im using 800mb cds but how do i know how much space is left available, is this some sort of wierd vcd thing?
Are there any updates that detect cds over 700mb?

which version of nero are you using???

There are a few updates available at Nero.com..... don't know whether they will cure your problem....

I downloaded the updates the other day, think they are dated the 13th Dec????

its probably based on the length of the videofile rather than the size?

its v6, oct03.Im using a 90min/800mb cd. So when doing a vcd a file can be 800mb or 90mins long? my vid in question is 801mb 81min. so perhaps ive still got 10mins of space available

You can only get about 60min onto a standard 700Mb disk in VCD format, so I don't think you are going to get the full file on one 800Mb disc.

Don't forget that Nero has to convert the movie file into MPG and then wrap it in the VCD directory structure, which both take up space.

If the file you are looking at is an AVI / DivX, then when converted to MPG for the VCD, it will get larger.

You are probably going to have to split the original file using something like TMPGENC.

Try looking at www.dvdrhelp.com. It may help.
