    any of you have experiance with Vcd's? I have two VCD files, 785MB's each. I cant get them onto 2 cd's, the files are to big :dunno: . I want to split them up and burn them on 3 cd's so that they can be played in the Dvd player. Any idea of what application can do this? (OS=windows 2000)

    Did u try overburning the 2 disks? You could get 785M on a 700 cd with Nero 6.
    To set the overburn choose data disk then (in Nero Express mode) click the more button at the bottom, click configure (bottom left) then click on the Expert Features tab. Tick enable overburn and set it to 90 min.

    Should do the trick.

    NO NO NO!

    Don't overburn it (i hope i;m not too late)

    Open up nero and Select New Compliation, and use VCD or SVCD as the type. Then just drag and drop the 800meg vcd files over and burn them 1 by one.

    The VCD/SVCD format allows for 800 megs of NON-overburned data to be written, as only 2 layers of error correction are used. Normal data has 3 layers of error protection, which takes up the extra 100megs, reducing the usable cd space to 700mb for normal data

    Yes the 800mb VCD files will fit into 45 mins of video.

    Just start a new VCD, and drag the files over, no problems.
