problem with nero7

[yuan861118]

i try to add a 300mb mpeg2 file to a dvd project with nero 7 but it came out to be 700mb, does anyone know why

[guns1inger]

Because Nero has reencoded it, possible changing the audio to LPCM. A little more detail might help us though. Are you just burning using Nero, or is a Nerovision project ?

[yuan861118]

yes it is a nero vision project. i converted .rmvb file to mpeg2 using winavi and i limited the output file to 300mb(minimum) the output file plays fine, and when i add the file onto the project it occupies over 700mb

[guns1inger]

NeroVision has decided, for whatever reason, that it wants to re-encode your project. Unless you can turn off this 'feature' there isn't much you can do while you continue to use Nero. It has always had a habit of doing this, going by comments from users frustrated by the same thing you are.

i have seen one dvd contain as many as 15 movie files the same length as the movie that im burning, any idea how this is being done

[guns1inger]

Using a proper encoder, such as tmpegenc, cce or procoder, setting correct bitrates, and authoring with something that doesn't screw with all your hard work.

none of those encoder convert rmvb files i think, but ill try different encorder and burning programs to see wut i get. thanx for the help

If you search the forums you will methods that do. Real Alternative allows avisynth to read rmvb files via the directshowsource method, which in turn allows these to be passed to any of these encoders.
