File size and svcd...

[DonX]

Im trying to encode some avi files to Mpeg2 for an svcd I want to make for my family...now, my question is:

is there a way to keep the file size down enough to fit onto a regular cd-r (700mb) and keep close to the same quality of the normal avi (divx / ac3) ??? and what are my alternatives?

all the moviez after encoding will be too big to make an svcd or even a normal vcd...Im using TMPEnc. to encode

thank you

if u make vcd out of a file, the matter is not the filesize, but the length of the movie.
