How do I know where to split?

[Diciple]

I split a movie (.avi format) using V-Dub into 2 equal parts. However, when I converted the first split to mpeg2....and then tried to burn the first split...it was bigger than the original .avi file. The problem lies when I try to burn it, due to the increased mpeg2 size...it will not fit onto 1 CD now. Will I have to RE-SPLIT this mpeg2 file??

Try using TMPGEnc to cut and encode at the same time. Use the
Setting-->Advanced tab-->Source Range function, once you have selected your template.

Ok...thank you, Tommyknocker. But, once I select my template, SVCD in my case, will it automatically "see" it as a mpeg2 file and split as a mpeg2 even though the source file is .avi?

Thanks!

Exactly. Once you tell TMPGEnc by selecting the appropiate template, you want a SVCD MPEG-2 format file from your AVI file, TMPGEnc will make one using the data from your AVI file.

Got it! Going to try now. Thanks again
