Hi I am quite new to the world of ripping but have had great success ripping my DVDs to VCds. I now want to progress so that I can convert avi files to VCDs. I know you lose quite a lot of quality but I download a lot of movies from Kazaa and they are nearly always avi files. How can I do this? I have Smartripper, DVD2AVI and TMPGEnc... Thanks Devo
There is a guide on this site http://www.afterdawn.com/articles/archive/divx_to_vcd.cfm if you do not want subs leave that part out, or you could look at this guide, http://www.fixitsguide.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/avi2mpeg1.htm
You can use TMPGEnc to convert. Sometimes, it won't convert compressed audio files. in that case, it is better to use VIRTUALDUB (It's a freeware), create wav files from the AVI, and merge with TMPGEnc. I am using this method. And NERO 5.5 is a good program to burm VCDs. If the files are too long, you can even cut them with TMPGEnc!
