Burning an .avi file to VCD that is JUST too big.

    I just downloaded Devil's Rejects and it came in two neatly ripped .avi files that are approx. 740Mb each. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good compressing program (if that's an option) that I could download or had any idea how I could make this work. I would really appreciate the help if possible. Thanks all.

    If you downloaded avi files, and want to burn a VCD, you are going to have to convert them to MPEG-1, which will make them even larger. Convert them to a .mpg and then use TMPGEnc to cut and join the files into 3 files. You should be able to fit it all on 3 CD's

    The size of the input file doesn't matter at all. Only the length matters and VCD won't necessarily be larger.

    VCD is always ~10MB/min so if a movie is 90mins long then it won't fit on an 80min CD. If the source is less than 10MB/min then the VCD will be larger.

    For VCD encoding, check out TMPGEnc.
