About filesize - AVI to VCD

[xtcbr]

OK, I'm newbie and my english not is so good (I'm from Brazil)

- I have a movie in AVI (715 MB);
- I want to rip this movie in CD to use in standalone DVD player;
- I've used the TMPGEnc to encode the movie to VCD;
- The filesize i'ts up to 6x the original size

There's a option for me? Txs a lot for the help!!

VCD can contain up to 80 minutes of film, this also depends on what kind of CD u use, for example, there are also 90 minutes CD-R's. You said your movie was 715 MB, this doesn't matter for the VCD as long as the duration of that movie is under the 80 minutes. If it's longer than the 80 minutes, you have to cut your movie in two parts. (The two parts, of course, should be under 80 minutes each, cuz else you have to make 3 parts) You can use a avi cutter to cut the movie in parts but instead you can also use TMPGenc to encode the first half en the second half of the movie. You can do this by load the movie into TMPGenc en select the 'source range' option. Here you can mark the begining and the part you want to encode. After you've encode the two parts, just burn them one by one on a VCD. Good luck

the reason that the file size has increased by 6 is that tmpg has converted the audio from its original compressed format to pcm wav file which is hoooog.

"the reason that the file size has increased by 6 is that tmpg has converted the audio from its original compressed format to pcm wav file which is hoooog."

When the "MPEG-1VideoCD" mode is selected in TMPGEnc, by default, it converts the audiostream to .MP2 format (a compressed format, that is nowhere near the size of Uncompressed PCM [.WAV] format)

i have had the same problem and always thought it was because tmpg does`nt handle vbr mp3. The same problem has been highlited on this forum before and i`m sure its to do with the audio.

I don't know if I can write in portuguese but here it goes:

VCDs sempre vão ter o mesmo bitrate, 1150 constantes para o vÃdeo e 224 para áudio em mp2. No seu caso como ja disseram, o TMPGEnc deve ter gravado em wave, q não tem comprensão nenhuma, então o tamanho do arquivo vai ser enorme.

Então no caso de um CD de 700 MB, você vai poder colocar 80 minutos de vÃdeo, não importa de onde o vÃdeo vem.

Se ele tiver mais de 80 minutos você vai ter q cortar o vÃdeo em duas ou mais partes, e gravar em dois ou mais CDs.

- Mmmmm... there's no other way?

- About the audio file: he is the bad guy on the history?

- How to compress the audio? Other software?

Hi

If you have uncompresed PCM wav audio, you can use Xing Mpeg encoder.
Hmmm... When you first aplied that mpeg1 is 6x DivX, i tought you have edncoded to mpeg1 with more than 1150kbps video data. But i remember a strange case vhen a DivX movie with VBR encoded audio was encoded double the time length then the original. Ex. 3:14:00 insted of 1:37:00. This hapened only on one PC computer. Encoded on every other it was fine.

Oh... let me see one thing...

I'm wrong or the filesize of the .mpg doesn't matter?

There's a relation between filesize, time of the movie and available time on the CD-R? I'm working with 80 min CD-R's.

Something like that: the filesize of the .mpg doesn't matter and, if i have a movie with 160 min I'll need 2 CD-R's?

And finally... there's other way of record a movie in CD-R to play in standalone players, with quality?

Txs a lot `
