Hi, I have downloaded an episode of Lost (.avi file) and i am using VirtualDub to add permanent subtitles to it. But to do so, I have to recompress the video of the .avi file. I am currently using the Xvid codec and VirtualDub to recompress it. In virtualdub, when i select the compression method, i choose "Xvid MPEG-4 Codec". But the problem is: the original .avi file has 700Mb, and my recompressed .avi file with subtitles incrusted has 350Mb... What is the problem ?? What I have to do if I want exactly the same size as the original video? I did not changed any settings in the xvid codec configuration. help please! thx
Load AVI. Click File > File Information. In the top video pane, look at 'Data Rate'. Set the compression at least the same - but 20% more might be better.
