unless the file is messed up somehow, you shouldn't have to rebuild the index and resave it. if it plays fine, just load the original file into tmpgenc.

If you convert it to mpeg-1 VCD it WILL change the size, it is a different compression. VCD is approx 10Mb per min of video.

OK basic mistake here. You used virtualdub to rebuild file index which is good, but then saved it as an uncompressed avi which is BAD unless you have a mainframe (how good is your English - please say if you don't understand). In video use direct stream copy to save your avi and then convert. However, it's impossible to get a 713mb avi onto one cd as a vcd (avi is so much better at compressing video than mpeg). You will need to put it onto two cds as vcds due to the compression ratios.

ever try anything like DivFix, AVIdefreezer, etc to undo stuck frames and repair damaged data, little 500k utilities that need enough space for a temp copy of the file but no more, fix it with no re-encoding.... 99% of the time anyway.
