    Hello there, here's the situation:

    I have a 700mb .avi file. I tried using NeroVision[nero8] to make VCD, the problem is, the size of the 700mb .avi file increases to 800mb+ and doesn't fit in the 703mb Cd-r.

    Can anybody please explain and provide the solution? Im new...
    Thank you.

    Regards,
    Aaron

    The vcd uses a fixed bitrate and the amount of
    data (MB) of the vcd is directly related to the running time
    (in minutes) of the source, rather than the fact that it's
    700MB.

    How about converting it over two cd's? Another solution is to use
    the free version of Tmpgenc 2.5 and use the KVCD templates,
    which extend the minutes allowed (by using a variable bitrate format).

    People still use VCD? A DVD player is $20.

    Thanks dave... But what if i still want to put the avi in CD-R? Is there anyway using nero alone?
    Is nero capable of doing the two CDs VCD?

    Thanks again.

    Regards,
    Aaron

    split the file in half.. or make a svcd

    vcd is mpeg1 .. convert the file and see how big it will be.. under 800mb will go on a svcd

    If your video has any intro or credits, trimming the ends might also save you a few mb. If not, you can split the AVI in two and make 2 VCDs with Nero. You can also buy a 800 mb blank CD.

    Well the the vcd is a fixed bitrate and I think it works out
    you can get approx 79 minutes of the movie on one CD.
    It writes in mode 2, so approx 790 MB.

    The OP doesn't say whether his standalone will play the avi file
    directly.
