SVCD is a VBR (Varaible Bitrate) you cannot tell how much will fit on a single disk. With the mpeg2enc -S -B options you can mark the stream, in a way, that mplex can split it int parts.
For mor info about SVCD encoding take a look at the mjpeg-howto Section: Creating SVCD > My attempts so far result in bitrates that don't work in the real world. > Guess the formulas I constructed are based on insufficient/inaccurate/not > fully grocked data. There is no formula, expet that the maximal allowed bitrate is 2788800 Bit/sec. Where you can decide how much Bits you want to spend for Audio and Video. > Not that it's relevant: Capture is with either lavrecord from a buz or, more > recently, using a digital8 camcorder to transcode analogue to video and > dvgrab.

The BUZ still produces very high quality :) auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Mjpeg-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mjpeg-users
