Use TMPGEnc insted

It's the BEST quality Mpeg 1/2 encoder out there.

you can get a free version from http://www.tmpgenc.net


Also, If your looking to make the job a little more automated, you can use the free software on my site...... but hang out till the weekend and i relese v1.01 cos it works better and has a lot of bug fixes.

thanks for the help also is there a way to put the whole movie on one cd instead of putting it on two to three cd's depending on the length of the movie?
thx

Sure, just make a non-compliant XVCD instead of a compliant VCD, reducing the bitrate till it all fits. Of course, compatibility might (or might not) be a problem, depending on your stand-alone player, not to mention degraded video quality is likely to be noticeably degraded.
