| I got a movie from a friend that is slightly less than 700 MB in size and an AVI file.
If I'm not mistaken this is a container format which just holds information like a specific video codec and a video stream (like in MP3 format), which should make it easier to edit it. From the filesize it simply fits on any CD-R of course basically. I have only very little in terms of video editing. I can watch the video on this computer of course, but I would like to have it on an CD and watch it on my DVD player. The standalone DVD player I own is an older one which cannot read AVI, DivX and other neat formats, also it doesn't recognize home-brewn DVDs (even if ... what a waste to burn a 700 MB file on a DVD  ).
Before you shout "Get a new DVD player!!!", I'll get a new one later, but since my job begins in april and I need the money for other things first, it has to wait. If I fire up Nero Burning ROM, I drag the file over to the left (burning) window like usual - after a short amount of time Nero display the correct length, but a file size of about 920 MB; well this won't fit on a CD though 
Is it just normal that the file size grows up by about a third to ensure compatibility with all DVD players outside ? I downloaded also Virtual Dub, since I think it should be capable of changing the quality - I rather would do something like extracting the audio track (it's variable bit rate) and insert it with a slightly lower constand bit rate again. Exporting the single audio file is easy, but is it even possible to reduce the file size or is VirtualDub more a cutting or filter/effect tool than actually for converting files ? Is there anoter program or way to create a SVCD, maybe with quality loss, but which will fit on a CD ? Thanks in advance, Surlent |

| Use TMPGEnc and create an MPEG1 file out of the original AVI. This MPEG1 file can be placed on to a VCD without size modification. | |||

| Forgot to mention that if you have a VCD format, you can only hold about 60 minutes, possibly a little bit more, but not that much more. However, there is a way to get even more minutes if you find a way to burn the video without error correction on the disc. Nero won't let you do this directly. You need to find a program that will build a VCD image without error correction, then you can just use Nero to burn the image as if it was an image you made off of a data CD. | |||

HyperHacker: It's okay, I always use the same brand for burning CDs and DVDs - and I'm satisfied with them 
Thanks for the replies. I already heared about TMPGEnc before, but good to know there is a way - it is not vital to have that movie on a CD, but just due to the fact watching movies on a PC (I don't load them via the internet) is not the same as watching them on a DVD player. I'll try this out when I have more time (since the computer will need to encode this what could take some time). |
