When I encode to SVCD using tmpgenc the finished file size is much smaller than what the wizard says it will be. Therefore I could've encoded at a higher bitrate How to I accurately work out the maximum birate settings to utilise all the space on a cd I use: 2 pass vbr 192kb audio bitrate 80 min cdr approx 40-45 minutes of vid vcdeasy
In http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/dvd2svcd_with_tmpgenc.cfm you'll find the 'FitCD' method, which adjustes the bitrate settings for TMPGenc accordingly (avoid the 'DVD-ripping' part, of course, and start reading from [bold]FitCD[/bold]). Alas, the bitrate must be changed according to the movie's length and the authoring application you use to make the SVCD from the input mpeg-2 file.
