Not sure where you got your 5 discs from.
I'd try TMPGEnc to make them mpeg2's.
TMPGEnc DVD Author to make maybe two DVD structures.
DVD Shrink them if necessary before burning.
If you have a DL burner maybe even the one disc?

woah that was quick
ok thanks ill try that
what would be a good size to shrink them to they are at 640x368
or would that be fine to leave them

thanks

I wouldn't touch the resolution. At 640*480 they're a little under the DVD standard.
Try the conversion to MPEG2. Then the structure.
DVD Shrink is for compressing the file size; it doesn't alter the resolution

Your sound may be AC3. If so, try this fix from Setarip:

If it proves to be .AC3:

In TMPGEnc, under the "Environmental Settings" "VFAPI plugin" tab rightclick on the "Direct Show Multimedia Reader" and increase to one greater than the highest priority of listed items.. This will enable TMPGEnc to accept a properly encoded .AVI with .AC3 audio for input...

If this doesn't work, load one of your avi's into VirtualDubMod (freeware) and post here the file info

error

thats the 1st thing that came up

Encoded in : Xvid Mpeg 4
Audio : LAME mp3

[setarip]

If not already on your system, download and install an XviD codec, FFDShow filter/code and an .MP3 audio codec...

in TMPGenc's wizard
i select dvd
then pal
then mpeg layer II Audio
i then select the files

Hi Fonts, I've not been around lately - been on the road helping Santa
Two suggestions:
Read up www.videohelp.com for info on DVD bitrates and,
experiment with a ReWritable or two to try things out.

"i dont want this to take up a whole dvd what do i do"

You could also look into using the "KVCD" templates for TMPGEnc. For more info on this visit:

works faster then tmepeg
