Xvid to SVCD in VDUB w/ subtitles- filesize is huge

[Yanky]

I have an xvid avi that I am trying to break into 2 parts for an svcd. Ordinarily this would be no prob, I would just "direct stream copy" it in virtualdub and fix the audio. However, this movie is in korean and I am using the vobsub filter to intigrate the subtitle files for it. Since I am using a filter, I have to use full processing mode to get the subs in and the estimated file size is 51 gig! Is there any way to lower this? Is there a better way than what Im doing? I noticed that in the video options for the dub there are compression options. I saw a few mpeg ones in there (ms-mpeg v1, ms-mpeg v2, ms-mpg v3 to mention a few) and wondered if I can compress the file into some format that will still be usable later in tmpgenc to create my svcd. 51 gig is just too huge for my hard drive to handle right now, and makes me wonder what the final size will be after conversion to mpeg. Thanks in advance for any help!

Come on guys, someone has to have some ideas about this prob.

uh frame serve it to tmpgenc, use the Source option in TMPGEnc to encode the first half, then the second half.

Here's a frameserving guide. Frameserving allows the video to go straight from Vdub to your encoder without saving to an intermediate file.

I think ejoc meant the Source Range function, it allows you to select which part of the movie to encode. You can do a batch encode to process both parts in sequence.
