compressing a DVix file

[jjkyle]

When i go to put my download movie on to a DVD-R it say the disc is not big enough, the video time is only 1 hour and 48 minutes but the file size is to big is there any way that I can reduce the size from 677 mega bytes to 4.7 gb.

Your posting makes no sense. 4.7Gb (gigabytes) is approximately 7 times LARGER than 677Mb (Megabytes)!

What are you trying to accomplish?

What software are you using?

i am try to use windows media player

I am to copy the file from my harddrive to a dvd writer and use on my home dvd system.

(I'm assuming that your 677Mb file is in .AVI format)

One set of procedures (other posters may/probably will suggest alternative methods) would be:

1) Use "TMPGEnc" to convert the .AVI (DivX-compressed or otherwise) to compliant MPEG2-for-DVD format - Use "TMPGEnc's" DVD wizard/template to accomplish this

2) Use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" (a different program than "TMPGEnc) to easily create the required additional DVD files and structure (and chapters and a menu, if you wish)


**If the combined filesize of the DVD "package" written to your hard drive is greater than 4.37Gb, use DVD Shrink (or similar) to compress


If your O/S is either Win2000 or WinXP, TMPGEnc DVD Author can also burn your DVD. Otherwise, use NERO to burn in "DVD-Video" mode
(As an alternative to "TMPGEnc DVD Author", you could use "DVDLab")


Let us know of your success ;>}

It still says that my file is to big it is now fits 4.7gb but says it is 3hrs long but when the video is actually played it is 1 hr and 50 minutes. Because when i go to copy it says that disc is not big enough and i have it set up to use a dvd-r 4.7 gb 120 minutes. What i am doing wrong with the Tmpgenc?

It says that movie is to long if it is in audio format is linear pcm

[jjkyle]

ANd there is no sound when i convert it to mpeg

"It says that movie is to long if it is in audio format is linear pcm"

I don't understand how you wound up having an Uncompressed PCM (.WAV) audiostream but, simply load it into TMPGEnc (NOT TMPGEnc DVD Author) and convert it to MPEG2Layer1 (.MP2) audio...
