Shrink Xvids to fit episodes on DVD

[Wolfbrain]

Howdy All,

Great work here!

I have multiple seasons of multiple TV shows in Xvid format.

I want to shrink the size of the episodes (re: 350MB to 300MB) so that I can fit a complete season on 1 DVD.

Is there a something easy to use that I can batch process an entire season with?

THanks a million!

Try AviRecomp.

Thanks Baldrick!

Can I batch process with AviRecomp?

I guess you have to open each avi and then add it to the queue...so it's not super easy.

Or maybe it will work fine using WinFF, load all avis, set the output file size and convert.

Thanks again Baldrick!

Well, depending on what you mean by a "complete season", your plan may not work. Since a show on one of the Big Four (NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox) will typically have 20+ episodes in a complete season, your proposed size will be too big for one single layer DVD in that case.

Do note that shrinking the files will worsen the quality, so there's a trade off here for the convenience of having everything on one disc.
