You need to make sure that the final file is re-compressed at the appropriate bitrate so that the size does not exceed that of the original.

It would be beneficial if you can put up the methods with which you created the 'subtitled' file.

And how did you add the subtitle and create the new file?

i load the avi with virualdub

in the audio -full processind mode -go to converson and chang the sampling rate to 44100
and go to file --save as avi
open the new avi
go to video --filter -- add sutitler and choose the ssa file
go to file and start fram server
open the tmpgenc load the file form the fram server and hit start!

now what did i do worng?

Why don't you set Vdub to do the video compression instead? Did TMPGEnc start creating a .mpg file? If so, it is no wonder you got a blown-up file.

You simply need to make sure that the bitrate used for the compressor is such that it will not exceed the target filesize. A calculator will come in handy for this. As to which codec and how to do it, that's to come, if you haven't already known.
