i dont want to split the movie i wanna put it on 1 disc before i converted the movie was only 699 mb after i converted it was 1.2 gb i converted it to put on 1 disc when i loaded into nero to burn it was far to big for a 80 mins cdr i never have this problem before .....i used a 1 cd template but this file has converted to twice the size as the original please you guys you must know the answer to this .....thanxs again........

It is normal for a DivX AVI (MPEG 4) to double in size when converting to a MPEG 1 (VCD)

Using a 1 disk template means your making a XVCD, and the quality is going to drop, how much it will drop will depend on how much your trying to cram onto one disk. If up until now your been converting 90 Min movies, but now have a much longer one, then you need to make the quality much lower to fit it on 1 disk.

Is it worth it ?, disks are so cheap, is the movie worth 2 disks ? good quality, or 1 disk bad quality.

i get your point john i understand that (thanxs anyhow) but the problem is when i put it on to a 1 disc template SELECT 80 cdr or iso whatever to fit on 1 disc when i have finished converting and load into nero the file is too big for 1 disc i never had these probs before now theyre are suddenly happening.............thanxs again the point is i could squeeze on to 1 disc now i CANT.........THANXS FOR THE HELP AGAIN .IF IT WASNT FOR THESE FORUMS WE WOULD NEVER BE THIS FAR.

Winny22,

2 things:

1) you forgot to "unlock" the settings by loading unlock.mcf that is located in folder called "extra" in templates directory to be able to tweak your settings so that the file fits on 1 disk

OR

2) you forgot to choose NON-Standard VCD (XVCD) in the last tab of the Settings window - otherwise TMPGEnc will still encode the movie as if is is standard VCD and the file, therefore, will end up something like 1 gig.

Hope this helps
