Guys really need help converting a 1.5g mpeg down to size??
i capture a tv show and i had all the settings wrong
a 1/2 hour tv programme file that is 1.5g
i want to make a vcd from it, but i cannot seem to convert the file with tmpgeit just converts to a standard vcd mpeg file which is agian 1.5gig
i also tried to convert it with nero but the speach is all out

wondered if it is poss to convert it to a standard vcd file size and the reburn?

Kel,

If TMPGenc can open it you and you're sure you're using a VCD template then you should be ending up with a file size of about 300mg for that 1/2 hour program.

I'd double check your template and make sure you're using a VCD template.

the settings i used were mpeg 1 720 x 480
video brite 9513
audio 224

normally when i capture i can re-encode with tmpge
as i said this time the mpeg is 1.5 gig which has never happened before.
i have tried to re -encode with dvd2Avi but i wont load up correctly

That bitrate (9513) is the main problem. Try lowering the bitrate to 4500 and your file should be somewhere in the 700-800 range, which is burnable.


Hope That Helps!!! :P

Also, how long is the movie your converting?

I use 7500 bitrate.
I can convert easily with TMPGenc after.
VCD or SVCD
