newbie vcd help :(

[Toka]

Hi,

I have two questions,

1. I can make vcds into an mpg file but the file is to big to fit on a cd, what can I do(I use dvdx)?

2. The movie is 1.55min long and my cd is 80min max, help??

thx for your time.

well the conventional way to make a vcd movie is to have one movie across two cds (vcds). However their are ways to fit your movie on one vcd but that requires extra reading on this site. This is too much to explain really... just follw direction on the site.

You could use DivX and make an AVI, then put it on a data CDR, but if you want them on VCD you have to split the .mpg

2. The movie is 1.55min long and my cd is 80min max, help??

Fit it on 2 VCD's
KingJohns Guide Splitting Mpeg1

If you tried to shrink it down to fit on 1 VCD, the quality would be bad, and it would no longer be a VCD, you would have an XVCD which might not even play. Use the guide....

I know how to split, I was just hoping I could somehow get it all on on cd but your right, the quality would be very bad, thx for your help everyone.
