    1. VCDs and SVCDs are measured slightly different from DataCDs. They can hold about 60 minutes of SVCD and 70 minutes of VCD per 700MB disc.

    2. If you are burning them as DataCDs you shouldnt have a problem

    3. What burning app do you use?

    Nero is suffcient for most SVCD burning purposes though. You might consider another burning app?
