Mpeg Size to BIG after conversion with TMPGenc

[Onechinaman]

Hi All,
I have a couple of movies in AVI format which is about 750MB each, I want to convert these movies files to VCD so i can watch them on my portable DVD player. I have cut the movies in half (375MB) and tried using TMPGEnc to convert the AVI file, the out come is a 1,2gig file which i can not use to make a VCD. The other funny thing is, the mpeg file doesn't have audio when playing back using windows media player.

Any help would be appreciated. I really want to watch these movies while at school and work. Please help

Thanks

1st of all don't cut the avi. Load AVI into virtual duband check for
junk frames. Then save audio as an uncompressed wav file.
Load into tmpgenc and follow the guide link below to
fit on 1 or 2 cd's.

Don't forget that you will be loading the avi as your source
video (as normal) but also loading the .wav file as your audio,
not the avi as normal.
