Avi to bin

Is there antway on earth that an avi file can be converted to a bin file and burnt onto a cd-r?

 

No need. If you have it allready you can use Nero Vision Epxress to burn a Video CD and import tha AVIs as they are.

If you don't have it get the free trial here

ftp://ftp1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/Nero-6.6.0.18_no_yt.exe

 

Cheers mate never thought of that, i'll give it a try.

 

Get back to me if you encounter any problems.

 

I have a problem, everything went ok with nero,except that i nw get the message that the file is to big and to insert a disk with more space, i a using a 700mb cd-r but the nero is telling me that the file im trying to burn is over 800, is there a way of fitting this onto a 700mb cd-r?

 

Hmm that's strange....

You're sure it is below 700mb...(735,025,152 bytes)

 

The disk i am using is 700mb cd-r, when i try to create a vcd using nero i get a pop up message dislaying,"not enough space on disk please insert a disk with more space" well something like that, the file i have is an avi file displaying a size of 740mb.
Sorry if i'm a pain but its became a mission now lol.

 

If the AVI file is 740mb then it won't fit onto a 700mb CD-R...

How big does it say the file is when you right click on it? 740mb?

 

When i right click it reads 740 MB (776,061,146 bytes)is there anyway of getting it to fit.

 

You can rencode it...
Use VirtualDub.

 

Sorry for my ignorance but what does that mean, and will i lose any of the quality of the file?

 

Re-encoding makes the file smaller.

However, it does results in a loss of quality... In your case shouldn't be too much cos it's only 40mb or so...

It is your only option at the mo though.

 

Right i have dl virtualdub, but i'm not sure on how to use it do you have an idiots guide there plz?

 

I'm not rly experienced with that. You'd have to wait for a reply here or start another thread. Sorry about that.

Try searching for it first

 

I tried to figure it out myself the problem i'm having now is where my save project is by default.

 

Just save it to desktop or something; you don't need a default one...

 

Ok mate i'll give it a try thank for all your help.

 

A VCD will only hold about 74 min. of video, the initial size of the AVI is unimportant, it's the length of time that matters.

 

Ah yes, that's a good point. I completely overlooked that...

 

So is there anyway of getting a avi file to a bin file and burning it onto a cd-r?
I have already seen movie files in bin format before so i know it can be don, question is,HOW?
