    RMVB(shd be DVD source) --> VCD???

    I have a video file with extention *.RMVB, which can be opened by realplayer. As I want to convert it in to a VCD, I use real7ime to convert it into a avi file, but i find it the size is too big(ALMOST 4GB). Can anyone tell me that how can I turn this file into a VCD????

    Try TMPGenc/CCE.

        I'm unsure if this would work.

        You could try using screen capture software to capture the rmvb file, as an avi/mpeg and then use TMPGenc/CCE to create a vcd.

          "I use real7ime to convert it into a avi file". If you still have the .AVI file, do the following to create a VCD:

          1) Load .AVI file into TMPGEnc
          2) Set to "System Video and Audio" (lower right side)
          3) Click on "Setting" radio button
          4) Click on "System" tab, change mode to "MPEG1-VideoCD" (from default of "MPEG1")
          5) Click on "Advanced" tab, change "Video arrange method" to "Center (Custom Size"), change dimensions to 352x288 or 352x240
          6) Change "Source aspect ratio" to either "4:3 525 line (NTSC 704x480)", "4:3 525 line (NTSC)", or "16:9 525 line (NTSC)" - If you're in the PAL world choose either of the two similar PAL settings instead
          7) Under the "Video" tab, change the dimensions to 352x288 or 352x240 (Note: "Video" tab mode of "MPEG1" is okay) - set "Motion Search Precision" to "Normal Quality". Change the "Aspect Ratio" to match, as closely as possible, the "Source Aspect Ratio" you set under the "Advanced" tab.
          8) Change "Rate Control Mode" to "Automatic VBR (CQ_VBR)"
          9) Under the "Audio" tab, set to 44,100 224Kbps
          10) Press "Start"

          Note that if your video runs longer than 60 minutes, you'll have to subsequently split your VCD-MPG file in two. This too can be easily and precisely accomplished using TMPGEnc. Under the "Files" dropdown menu, click on "MPEG Tools" and select the "Merge & Cut" tab. Once again, make sure to change the mode to "MPEG1-Video CD". Load your file and enter a new (.MPG) name in the "Output file" box. Then doubleclick on the ORIGINAL file's name in the window, which will bring you to the cutting area. Select your desired start and end points for the first half, click on "Okay" which will bring you back to the first window and generate (in a sequence of three automated steps) the first new file. To create the second new file, repeat the steps starting with "Then doubleclick on the ORIGINAL..." (be extra patient with the second half, as the program has to do more seeking to establish the beginning of the new file).

          Use a burning program, such as NERO to burn your CD-R or R/W CD as a VCD (DON'T ask NERO to format the file as a VCD, since you've already accomplished this!)

              "I didnt finished the avi file"

              Finish the .AVI, if you can. You'll be able to delete it (if occupying hard drive space is your concern) after you've converted it with TMPGEnc...

                  I'm guessing that you're hard drive is formatted in FAT32 format because your O/S is Windows 98 (or earlier). If so, you're probably running into the FAT32 4Gig filesize limitation.

                  If this is the case, save the .AVI in two pieces...
