Encoding Fast and The Furious in Tmpgenc help

[0oVWOo0]

When I got Fast and The Furious widescreen, 677mb avi file, i tried to encode it in Tmpgenc, I put it to svcd at first and changed it to fullscreen(keep screen ratio) and went to next and when I got to the bitrate page it said the entire movie was gonna be 3.2GB so I went crazy and split the movie and it said it was gonna be 2.6Gb so I lowered it to 300 bitrate and it still was 1.6GB or something like that. I tried VCD but it was at 2.3Gb at full movie and when split it was 993mb. So I tried LSX MPEG Encoder and it said the video was compressed too much it was 90:1 ratio or something and it was DIV3. So how do I encode it to be like 700mb? Thx for help.

if you encode your movie to be on one disc (800mb) in vcd mode its not going to be very pretty. i suggest two discs (use source range) and the total movie can be 1.6gb

I would guess the movie has VBR audio which causes TmpGenc to choke on its length calculations. Open the divx in vdub. If it has VBR audio it will give you a warning about it. In this case I would reccomend goldwave. (www.goldwave.com). Open the avi file in goldwave and save out the audio as uncompressed PCM. Then use this as the audio source when you encode with TmpGenc. It should now get the length calculations right.

And 2 disks is almost certainly required for an SVCD of this movie, maybe even 3.
