Regarding converting avi to vcd!!

[Thegame20024]

I have a movie on a cd-r and it is in 2 parts well when i convert it over to a vcd it is then larger then the whole cd and i need 2 in order to have both parts now i was woundering if you were able to compress it to make it smaller so that both parts can fit on one cd.

Yes it's called DivX.

Oh wait, you already have a DivX? Sorry, it will only get bigger after you convert it, it's alread as small as you can make it.

You cna glue the 2 AVI's together and probably convert it to 2 VCD's if it's under 160 minutes or 3 otherwise.

You can make reduced bitrate VCD's where the Video Bitrate is reduced down to about 900-950KBps instead of the usual 1150 KBps , this would normally allow something that takes up 3 disks to fit onto 2 ,however as far as standalone players are concerned these are non standard and there's no guarantee they will work . MY own player did play these and it was wonderfully useful as material shorter than 100 mins would fit onto 1 CD but as the compression is higher there is some loss in quality .

You have 3 choices,make 2 vcd`s ,buy a dvd/divx player or buy a dvd burner and author the the whole movie to one dvd.

Do u use TMPGEnc to convert your avi to mpeg? If so u should consider using KWAG's templates from www.kvcd.net
It has different vcd templates, there is a template that allows you to fit the movie on one cd, by reducing the bitrate and other settings. Try it!

I use TMPEG to do the VCD's however never tried the KWAG templates I just unlock the Normal VCD Profile and reduce the Bitrate manually to whatever I've calculated to be optimum for the length of the AVI File
