What movies take up only 1 CD?

[Nina]

I am trying to burn movies and finally got the hang of burning MPEG files.

Can someone tell me which videos generally take up 1 CD. I know Training Day takes up 2. Also, can someone tell me how I would burn a movie which is an AVI file. I am very knew to this so I would require step by step directions.

Thanks.

convert the .avi files into .mpg format with tmpgenc then burn.

uhm.. movies that only take up 1 cd? 30-50min pornos mabey?
i got Flashpoint with jenna jameson.. 50minutes, about 150mb, i think in .avi format.

if you want the movie i can send.. if you got a broadband connection that is. this offer is only good to Nina, so dont ask me. im just tryin to be nice, im not tryin to be a porn server on irc. and since Nina sounds like a female i dont supposed they will want it heh

if you have a 80min. you can cut off the credits and it should fit on one cd.

Nina, basically what they are saying is if you are burning movies in standard VCD format, you can burn up to 80-minutes worth of video onto 1 cd. If the movie is longer then 80-minutes (in standard VCD format), then it must be split up and go multiple cd's. The reason I say 'standard VCD format' is because if you change/raise some of the settings to improve quality (XVCD), generally the higher the settings you use, the less time you can fit onto one cd. Or think of it in the reverse... ie you could split an 80-minute movie into 2 40-minute cd's and encode them at a much higher/better quality. I suppose you might also be able to encode at a lower-than-standard rate and fit more onto a cd, but I dont know for sure as I've never personally done that.

As for your AVI file, if you want to play it on a stand-alone DVD player (which supports VCD), you do need to convert it to MPG format. I use TMPGEnc, but there are other programs available. If you want, email me and I'll walk you thru the steps I use.

I was able to fit the whole Ice Age movie on a 74 min CD-R using standard VCD setting (with a few seconds to spare)

Most movies usually will need to be cut up and spread over 2 discs, and really large movie like Lord of the Ring (2001 version) takes up 3.

You can reduce the bitrate to make the files smaller and fit in fewer CD-Rs but the quality will also degrade. Also some stand alone DVD player may not like non standard XVCD or XSVCD and spit the disc out.

Cats and Dogs fits easily on an 80 min CD at CBR 1150 and Audio at 128, I know this is xVCD but is hardly a change and most DVD players should play it.
