Making Video For Enhanced Audio CD
i’m mastering some video to appear on an enhanced audio CD. i’m wondering how big the video files can be, and still playback smoothly on most modern computer CD-ROM drives. i’d like to use H.264 quicktime compression. i made a test video at the size and quality i’d really like…the file size is 60.1 MB, the frame size is 400 x 225, and the data rate is 3186.64 kbits/s. will that play smoothly on most modern CD-ROM drives? i’m having trouble finding (recent) info online about this topic of compressing video for smooth enhanced audio CD playback.

i did one recently and we used flash.
I exported as h.264 and then brought it into flash. Flash then encodes it to its own codec making it play seamlessly on on nearly any computer. The flash codec (the name escapes me now) looks amazing for the file sizes, and looks great.
In my case I only had 120mb on the cd so I used regular web dimensions 352* 288 (pal) to keep the file size low. then the menus and still photos filled the rest up.
hope this helps.
