Huge File

[sbeezy]

I have no problems ripping to my drive, or converting to vcd, but when it's done the file is HUGE 1.5GIG. The resolution looks great, but I would like to know how i can convert this to a smaller file. Hard drives are expensive. LOL

you've got several options:

1) cut file, burn to two discs
2) re-encode using much lower bitrate so file fits on one disc, but lose quality in video
3) re-encode to divx and watch only on PC

I will probablly choose option 2, should I just re-encode with the file I have already created, can I do this more than once until I get the desired size. I'm tring to get my files down to about 700mb, as is on many sharing sites. Thx for reply.

The Divx file size depends on the bitrate you chose to encode with.
