Hey

I got 25 episodes of FFU and would like to have em on CD and watch em on my VCD/SVCD/DVD ...

But then I need to convert it ... The episodes is now 140mb each
If i convert 1 it gets like 388mb .... That will be 2 Episodes / CD
wich is a really not worth it (I think)

Does anyone know a soultion? A format i can convert it to that dosent get SO d*mn big?

If you read here: https://www.videohelp.com/vcd you will see that VCD is a fixed bitrate, allowing upto 80 mins per disk (on 800Mb media), nothing more, nothing less. You could encode at a lower bitrate or even use Variable bitrate. This will then be a XVCD which is non stnadard and your player may or may not play. However reducing the bitrate will also reduce the quality, its a compromise.

You could always biy a DVD burner. Then you can get up to 6 hours of VCD quality video on to 1 disk.

so ... what should I do ?

You are lamenting the cost of 13 blank CDR's? Sorry, that's the way it works for VCD/SVCD. 80 minutes for VCD, or if they are one hour eps ( what is ffu? ) then go SVCD/ep.

The reson i dont wanna use 13 cd´s isent becuse I just have 10 right now and no money ^^

Here's a guide to squeezing as much video on to one CD as possible: https://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=84759

The quality isn't that great, I use it mainly for kid's movies. Try it and decide for yourself.

Tip - Using VBR to encode makes smaller files and preserves quality.

Skip past the ripping part. Go to the TMPGEnc setup and encoding part of the guide, it'll get you there!
