How to fit a 110 first part movie to 80 min VCD?

Have used source range for this but I need to cut the MB from 774 to 700 in order for the movie to fit. The only thing is that I need to cut the first seven minutes of the movie in order for it to fit...well, what's the point then as the first part is ruined? I can't buy CD's bigger than 80 minutes where I live..I looked. The movie I"m referring to is Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets and I downloaded it in two parts. I"m looking for a dvd rip to download of that movie...but I'm still looking. I think that may be my only way of being able to divide the movie in three parts. Any suggestions?

I think splitting that movie to 3 parts is a really good idea. My general rule of thumb is 1 hour per CD and I think that movie is well over 2 hours. The other idea is maybe to join the movie, strip off the ending credits and resplit again to see if the two parts are closer to 700 meg.

 

Hi,
I think you all have misunderstood what I was trying to say. I have downloaded Harry Potter from KaZaa in two parts. The first part is 774mb long. It is too long as the cd I have to use to burn is only for 700mb only. I have tried to burn the first part of the movie as is and the Roxio 5 software I use refused to do it and stated that there was not enough space on my Cd for the movie. Whoever downloaded the movie first already cut the movie enough so that I can't cut anymore without taking from the movie. I'm talking about the first part of the movie so there is really no room for anymore cutting. I mentioned DivX only because I think my only solution is to re-download a harry potter DivX and divide it into three parts. I just thought there was a way to fit a 774mb onto a 700mb cd...but I'm beginning to think it was a stupid question to begin with. Sorry for the confusion...I'm still really a newbie on this.

Cirsinn:

CD media is generally labeled with it's mode-1 capacity. VCDs and SVCDs are written mode-2. An 80 minute/700mb mode-1 CD will hold approximately 800mb mode-2. So, that 774mb file should fit on an 80 minute CD-R, "provided" it is a VCD compliant MPEG-1 file. If it doesn't fit (and it is a VCD compliant MPEG-1 file) and provided you are using the VCD template in your burning software than, something is wrong with the settings.

If it is an avi, divx or other type of file that could account for the discrepancy.

 

USE an XVCD format, with TMPGEnc! i have takin a 720 x 480 divX and created a xvcd at the same resulution. the result is a 2 hour movie (the matrix) on 2 cd's at dvd quality! for a guide on how to do this go to http://www.vcdhelp.com/tmpgencxvcd.htm
. although this is a good guide you will still have to play around with your settings. just a litle bit of work and you should get professional results! for questions concerning the things posted here, email me at drumerdanc@mail.com. remember, no question is to stupid!
