yeah, uh. the avi's you are encoding are probley divx format which is highly compressed [i beleive, right?].
anyways, when you encode the .avi into mpg , the file size is always much higher, usually around 2 to 3 times larger than the avi file.

it happens to everyone, and there is nothing you can do to change it, unless you want to loose quality;P
how long is a 300+mb divx/avi file anyways? fukin 5 hours or some shit?

ur probley gonna need 3 cd's=x

g/l with all that shit.
u got a nice system, how long did it take to encode that mother fukin file?

It took 4hrs7mins and the file is now 1.2 gigs?? That's a 399mb file..

Oh i love anime. The last anime movie i saw, some robot looking bitch with metal tits had to take her 'clothes' off before every fighting scene. After watching that shit, i promised to myself that i would never watch any movie that had anyone with 10th generation or more japenese in them, that created it.
