My .avi is 1 gig, and my mpg after encodeing is only 500mb??

I have a god damn file that is 1 gig after I uncompress the avi audio. I am using tmpgenc to encode the file and this program works for all my other movies that I have done in the past, perfect quality. But the freaking oceans eleven file (dvl-oea) always looses quality and about half the size when I encode it. I am doing the same thing for all my movies, but this is the only one that does this. What is going on?

You'll have to be more specific than this to get a good answer...
What format are you converting to,? what lenght does your original video have (time)? what bitrate are you using?
But i can say this it is normal that your mpg and your avi's don't have the same file size that's comparing apples and oranges... as for the quality, if your downloading the video it might be the codec in which it was encoded ...divx does'nt convert very well, some others might be the same.

tell me why you would uncompress the .avi file in the 1st place?

I have to uncompress the sound to pcm first.
