Well, you could actually just read through the section on how to convert from DivX to SVCD (I'm guesing your 703meg avi is a DivX movie)....but an SVCD encode is going to be larger than the DivX source. Depending on the bitrate you choose you will end up with 2 to 3 CDs for a movie. You have to either split the movie into 2 with VirtualDub before you start the encode, or you can use the Source Frame Range filter in TMPGEnc to choose each part of the film for encoding.
