DIVX to VCD |
|
|
Complete newbie to this. I only have a CDR burner on my computer, but
my DVD player will play VCD disc's. I want to transfer movies from PC
onto CDR's in VCD format, but the film files are too big, to fit on a
standard CDR. My first downloaded film was 715Mb in size and after
Nero added a few files to make it VCD compatible, it ended up being
730Mb. I did not let it burn it to disc, because I assumed it would
not fit (could not wait the two hours it was going to take to convert
the AVI file). How do I go about making the file smaller or is there
another trick to doing this.

Since I posted this question, I let Nero go throgh the whole process
of encoding, only to tell me some 3 hours later that it was too big to
fit on the disc (as I suspected). I took a quick look on the internet
to see if I could find any pointers. The sites I looked at suggest
that the AVI file needs to go through several processes before it can
be laid to disc. I am downloading DIVX files, so I was hoping to just
burn them straight to VCD (700Mb) and play them on my DVD player. Is
there not a program that does all this processing for you? Please help
out a complete newbie, TIA. |

Perhaps Nero is basing it on a different size CD? You can fit 80 minutes
of a VCD on one CD. The size of the video file to burn can be around 780
MB. Because the CD says 700 MB, but that's for computer data. It's the
runtime of the video file that is what counts.
If you have a 700 MB AVI file and after it's comverted to VCD you get a
MPEG1 that is about double that of AVI.
Try splitting the AVI in half first.

I don't convert the way you are having Nero do it. I don't split AVIs.
Look here: http://www.videohelp.com/
I load my AVIs into TMPGenc and convert. Then with TMPGenc I cut the large
MPEG1 to fit on CDs.
