arrrrgh i did a 714 meg one and its now 800 meg

ill try splitting it into 2 lots of 400

cheers guys

guess its just trial and error

Use tmpenc to split the video into 70 min sections when converting to vcd, use the advanced, source range to pick the start and end points for each section.
Takes ages to process but TMPG isthe most reliable ive used and is one of the quickest.

and if the avi is a divx then tmpenc wont do it cos the sound is VBR - or variable bitrate - u will have picture and no sound - this is EXTREMELY upsettingafter you have waited for it all to get compressed properlyso i advise you believe me - u need to get a program called virtual dub or something and do the audio seperately - a goodsite to check out is http://www.dvdrhelp.com i thnk its called -this has loads of guides for doing divx to vcd etc conversion

an avi converted to an mpeg will roughly double in size so you will need to half it and stick it on two and also just to let u know vcd is just an mpeg renamed to a .dat

go to www.vcdhelp.com or better still www.doom9.org

vcd...

700megs... just use an 80min cd... although conversion from avi to vcd will most likely change that size.

not alot of picking svcd seem ya player dont play it is it

no, u will need 17 cd's to fit that on

happy to help ;)

do i select mpeg, vcd or svcd

my dvd player playes mpeg and vcd

the film is a 700meg avi, will this need 2 disks to burn it on?

cheers
