Converting .AVIs with VBR-MP3 Audio

[Warp9Racing]

I did the process below but the new avi is now 1.51 gigs and if i split it then its still to large to burn.

Ok using virtual dub and following the guide lines from user ''setarip''.Converting .AVIs with VBR-MP3 Audio

Simply use VirtualDub to save the audio stream as an Uncompressed PCM (WAV) file as follows:
Load your original .AVI into VirtualDub
From the "File" dropdown menu, select "Save WAV" (Enter a new filename with a ".WAV" extender).Click on "OK"
Then set "Video" to "Direct Stream Copying"
Then save the .AVI as a silent .AVI (set "Audio" to "No audio" after you've saved the WAV file).

Then close VirtualDub and restart it
Set "Audio" to "No audio"
Load your silent .AVI
Set "Video" to "Direct Stream Copying"
Under "Audio" click on "WAV Audio" and load your .WAV
Set "Audio" to "Full Processing Mode"
From the "Audio" dropdown menu, select "Compression" and choose the appropriate .MP3 settings. Click on "OK"
From the "File" dropdown menu, select "Save as AVI" and save your file with a new filename.

How large was the original file ?

Why don't you just split with nandub ? (no need to convert the audio that way).

"Set "Video" to "Direct Stream Copying" ...

"From the "Audio" dropdown menu, select "Compression" and choose the appropriate .MP3 settings. Click on "OK" "...

I'm guessing you've omitted one of these steps, if your filesize increased dramatically.

Ok when im compressing audio to video. The audoi alone is coming out to be around 900mb. Compression was set on divx and on mpeg3. both the same. What should i do?

"how do i know what the appropriate mp3 setting is?"

Try MPEG Layer 3 (.MP3) 48,000Hz at 128Kbps...
