compressing a DIVX encoded movie

[terryjoebob]

I have a 576,000 MB copy of neil youngs "Rust Never Sleeps" concert film, encoded DIVX 5.05..when i pull it into Arcsoft Showbiz to burn to DVD, it converts files into 6.4 GIG file.

Tried reencoding as MPEG 1&2 w/TMPEGENC and files was even larger then than when i started

is there an easy way to shrink the existing 576,000MB file down, so when i insert into ARCSOFT its < 4.7 GIG's?

TIA!
Terry

"when i pull it into Arcsoft Showbiz to burn to DVD, it converts files into 6.4 GIG file."

Compress THIS "DVD package" with DVD Shrink...

sorry not sure what you mean...i don't burn a 6.4 gig file, ARCSOFT just shows me that before I burn this movie, the out put is going to be 6.4 gigs...i at this point close out arcsoft, as i don't want it spread over 2 dvd's

maybe i'm missing something..........could u elaborate?..are u saying take the divx file and compress w/shrink?..if so how?

thanx

Save the 6.4Gb file (Actually it will be a SET of DVD-compliant files) to a folder on your hard drive. Then use DVD Shrink to compress...
