Is there away to limit the size of the movie using TMPGEnc?

I have a 1gb movie file for example... is there a way to put it in 700? THX!

Could you restate your question?

Are you looking to convert a 1Gig AVI to a 700Meg MPEG-2 or a 1Gig MPEG to a 700Meg MPEG?

Filesize is directly proportional to bitrate. Regardless of what your source is, just convert it to the desired format and use a bitrate calculator to determine what bitrate to use to get the desired filesize. You can find a bitrate calculator in the tools section. Note that this only works for multipass vbr or cbr encoding modes. If you use anything else it is simply a matter or trial and error.

BTW, this issue is specifically convered in almost every single conversion guide.

You have a choice of converting the whole movie, then splitting it into 2 later with Merge and cut (Preferred method) to fit on 2 VCD's

Or you can click settings > source range, and limit how much it does. (half at a time) to fit on 2 VCD's

Sqeezing the whole lot onto 1 CD, will give a bad quality movie.
