Best way from AVI to VCD????

[Rillern]

I have a AVI file that i want to convert to VCD! The file is 700 MB and is 88 minutes long! When i open the file in TMPGenc it says that the file is 297 minutes, so i have to set the video bitrate to about 100kbit per second for the movie to fit on a disc!!! What am i doing wrong and whats the easiest way to convert this file onto a 700 MB CD in VCD format???

go to kvcd.net and take a look at their templates for TMPGEnc, one of them may be able to help you.

It sounds like your AVI file is DivX,read this guide:https://www.videohelp.com/tmpgenc.htm

Oh, sorry... Yes its a DivX file! but i downloaded all the codecs and installed them but TMPGEnc still says yhat the movie is 247 minutes!?!?!?! If i open the file in Nero it says that the file will be 800 MB in VCD, maybe i should buy some 800MB disks and burnt on to them!

A 700 MB CDR will in fact hold 800MB in VCD format. Check out the "What is VCD" link in the upper left of this window.

Sounds like it could have VBR audio which TMPGEnc does not handle well and thus misreports the file length. Open the file in vdub it will probrably warn you of VBR audio. Save the audio as an uncompressed wav file using full processing mode and use this wav file as the source for the audio in TMPGEnc.
