How much disk space does one need for a 120 minute frame rate XVID to AVI conversion? How much disk space does one need for a 120 minute AVI to VCD mpeg 1 conversion?
My disk space seems insufficient for a frame rate conversion (11.6 Gig free). Let me know if you could give me some ball park figures.

When I was using the 12GB drive it was a SECOND HDD so I didn't have to worry about the cache size thing since that was on my OTHER HDD but even if you only have a single HDD with 11.6GB free it should be more than enough to convert your Xvid to VCD or SVCD or even an mpeg-2 DVD file. BTW the Xvid is already an AVI type file so why would you want to convert it to AVI using aother codec?

Fulci,
Well, VirtualDub told me that my disk space was insufficient when executing an AVI un-compression. I must have done something wrong. Essentially, my objective involves converting a XVID AVI file in a VCD playable on most rudimentary DVD players.
Does one need to convert the XVID to an un-compressed format before re-encode? This question may seem elementary, yet I am familiar with MP3 to Wav to CD.
Could one directly convert from an XVID to mpeg 1 wihtout quality loss?
The original question has me perplex. Why would VirtualDub require more than 11.9 gigs for a conversion process? -

You should be able to open the XVID AVI file directly in TMPGEnc or whatever MPEG-1/MPEG-2 encoder you use.
The reason why you don't have enough space is that you are trying to save the XVID in VirtualDub as an UNCOMPRESSED RGB file. This takes up a HUGE amount of HDD space but it not required to create a MPEG-1 VCD compliant file.

If that's the case, you can save the disk space and eliminate the need for an intermediate (large, uncompressed) file by frameserving directly from Vdub to your encoder.
