Extreme size..why?

[ottosen]

I wanted to make Catch me if you can into a svcd movie. It's split in 2 parts.

I started out, using this guide http://www.dvdrhelp.com/forum/userguides/111846.php and if went fine..i found the right programs and so on..then i had to test for frame errors, and some were found..then i started on this guide http://www.dvdrhelp.com/forum/userguides/153907.php which would fix those frame errors...I'm pretty sure i got them fixed, but when i were to Save as .avi as the guide says, it started...but the file got HUGE!! it was 46 gb, and then i didn't have anymore space, so had to cancel...why is this..what do i have to do?

Thank you in behalf

Use Video->direct stream copy

When in the process should i enable direct streaming? I would appreciate if you would make it real clear for me, as I am not that good with video converting..yet!

Under the video tab select direct stream copy not full procesing mode. To get files that size you probrably have full processing mode selected with no compression, so it is uncompressing the file to raw avi when you save it. If you select direct stream copy it will save it without any changes to the video codec. It is also much quicker with direct stream copy as there is no encoding/decoding taking place.
