Ok.. i'm gonna go right to the point.
i downloaded four 21 min. videos each of them around 70 to 100 MB file size> so i got one of 80 MB and put it in MPGEncoder with the default settings, when it finished the results were a normal MPG file but with a file size of "218 MB" more than the double of the original .avi file.

So all I'm askings is what settings should i put to get a regular file size so i can at least fit 4 of those videos in a 700mb/80 min disc? it will be better if i don't loose any quality

Pliz if you know how to help me, it will mean a lot cuz my pc is running out of memory and by knowing how to compress the mpg file to a smaller size i won't use my cd's only for 2 or 3 espisodes" tnx in advance
