[dst1210]

i want to change a 700 megabyte .avi file with tmpgenc,
how do i do that without excending a 750 megabyte limite????

I assume you are making a VCD. Well, if so, not sure what you mean by 750mb limit. Depending on the size of the CD you plan on burning the MPG to the file size will be limited to either 740mb or 800mb. When using VCD MPEG1 standards each minute of video/audio will equal 10mb. Therefore, depending on the size of your CD, you will either be able to fit 74 or 80 mins on one CD. You can always go lower then MPEG1 standard bitarte of 1150bps but this will reduce the quality and make it incompatible with many DVD players which is one of the primary benefits of using VCD over AVI.

Good luck and let us know if you need any more help

I'm not sure either with what you mean by a 750 MB limit, but _I_ assume the 750-800MB limit on CDR's. If you encode an .avi to VCD (MPEG1) you can say that 1 min of a movie is 10MB of VCD MPEG that means that if you have 65minutes of a movie yo can fit it on a 650MB CD (74minutes of CD Audio) (overrun, wich not all CDR's allow might give you more) If you have an .avi and it in MediaPlayer says 1:35hrs then it means that you have 60+35=95mins of video. This means that (if want to create a VCD,other rules apply to XVCD, you need 950MB to save it as VCD. [Now you need to assess if it is NTSC/NTSC-Film or PAL, and choose encoding accordingly] Tmpgenc has an 'Source Range' option, where you can specify start- and end- frames, Just Choose [Settings] - [Advanced] Tick [Source range] Double click it, and set start- and end- frames. and then make 2 projects. One of the first half of the .avi and one of the second half.
