VirtualDub creating too large file...

[dickd]

I have been using DVD2SVCD in the AVI mode to convert divx to svcd, using the guide posted by LeeBear from this site. Have done 3 so far and all have worked and converted without a problem. The divx's were around 700mb and after using VirtualDub to save as an AVI ended up around 1.4-1.6gb. The last two I tried, I recieved a warning that a file could not exceed 4gb on a fat32 structure. I then closed VirtualDub and looked at what it had saved and saw about 7minutes worth of the movie taking up 3.99gb. What is happening? I haven't changed any settings and the divx is starting at the same size. Any ideas?

Your DIVx IS an AVI encoded as MPEG4
When you save an AVI with Vdub you have to specify an
encoding format and a bitrate. Are you doing that. ?
If you don't the file may go out uncompressed which
may get to 70-110 Gb/hour

Why are you converting to AVI ? You already have an AVI
DVD2SVCD is supposed to convert to a SVCD compliant MPEG2 file

Edit: I haven't read that guide, so I'll guess that DVD2SVCD can't directly
process DIVx because of the MP3 audio
