avi 2 vcd

[sargon]

hi,
I'm new to this field
and I hope someone could help me with this one.
I've just converted an AVI file to MPEG using TMPGEnc and I've created a monstrous 1.4 GB file which at this point I want to burn to a CD-R (well...several CD-R's I guess ) so I can watch it with my home DVD player.
now, how the hell do I do that?

A) Hopefully, you converted it to MPEG1-VideoCD (NOT "plain vanilla" MPEG1). If so,

B) 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. 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!)
