How to convert 239MByte 30 minute AVI file for VCDs???

[chessasaur2]

I've got some AVI files that are much too big to make into standard MPGs for VCDs even though they are only 30 minutes long. The MPGs they encode into (using TMPGEnc) are over 1Gig each! I suspect that the data rates are too high, but I don't know which program to use to change it. Here are the specifics:

File size: 239Mbyte
Frame Rate: 25 frames/sec
Length in seconds: 1800
Data rate: 131.33 KB

Video: DiVX 5.0.1 codec
24 Bits 512x400
45k frames

Audio: MPEG Layer 3
114 Kbits/sec
48KHz Stereo
86K samples

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

If it's really a 30 min AVI, there's absolutely no way that you can end up with a >1GB VCD mpeg. A VCD MPEG is about 10 MB/minute - a value that nothing can change. It has nothing to do with the specifics of the source. It's simple math: 1150 kbps video, 224kbps audio=1374 kbps total. Multiply by 30*60, and you'll end up with 309150 MB.
Use the standard VCD template in TMPGEnc (1150 kbps, CBR), and you'l end up at this mpeg size.
