I can't burn much more than 700MB Cd's using nero, but I have some SVCD's that have 800MB or so of data. How do you burn cd's that big? specific options/settings in nero? or how can I make a copy of 800mb cd's?

Thats funny but I've made almost 800MB VCD's and never did anything special. Just used 80min CDs. The file could be 1000MB as long as its run time is less than 80min it'll work fine.

that's funny, this was exactly what I was thinking about earlier yesterday :)

this is overburning, one sector at a time :) the SVCD quality on our set top DVD box looks very nice!! Takes about 6hrs to convert a DVD into SVCD.

They are able to do this because they do not put the error correcting bits on the VCD. Regular DATA CD's have error correcting bits.

When burning either VCD, or SVCD, size of the file doesn't matter, it's the length of the video that matters.


Although I can't really explain and technical details, since I'm not too sure myself, but hey it works, doesn't it ;)
