avi to dvd problem

[chris_newton]

hi all

i have a avi filewhich is a xvid i convert it to dvd using TMPGEnc, i have followed the guides but 2 things are happening. first when i get to the end the file size is way over 4gb and no matter how much a change the settings (example video bitrate) i can not get it below 4gb. the orignal file is only 700mb.

Secondly but probably not as important as i have to fix the above problem first, when i just tested it so see if it would encode it appreared to have no sound.

Any suggestions would be great

Thanks all

Chris

Check the XVID with AVIcodec. It may have MP3 VBR sound.

I started using 'TheFilmMachine' for XVID to DVD conversion. Very easy to use and has worked perfectly so far.

i have checked it and it says

Audio : 86 MB, 130 Kbps, 48000 Hz, 2 channels, 0x55 = MPEG Layer-3, Supported

does this mean it has mp3 vbr sound???

if so what do i need to do??

Thanks

Chris
