Lower the bitrate. (look in the Encode Mode box, settings button).

Try using avi2mpeg2 (aka bbmpeg)

It will accept avi files packed into non proprietry codecs .

Hit add , find avi , hit start encoding , hit settings , go to general settings .

You should find a box for mpeg , and down below is an mquant value , 4 is default , run it for a minute in the encode process .

After 2 or 3 minutes you'll get an idea as to the final output of the video file size , not including the audio .

If it appears to big you can change the mquant value to a higher setting , but I dont recommend going past 5 or the video suffers .

is this mpeg file ? can i convert it to vcd format ?

An m1v is the video only portion for VCD.
If you select "System (Video+Audio)" it will create the proper mpg for you to burn to VCD.
Select the same avi as your audio source.
