AVI to DVD won't fit on disk

[jazzman44]

I have an avi movie file which is 716 mb and I tried to use nerovision to burn it onto a dvd as I have done with many files before but is is to big for a disk. how can I make it fit

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

1) Use "TMPGEnc" (or "TMPGEncPlus") 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 ;>}

NeroVision to Compress Movie File

NeroVison can be used to compress the size of the movie to fit on a standard DVD. Under "Video Options." use the "custom" setting and insert (4684 kbit/s). I used this on longer movies like "The Punisher" which is over 2 hours long. Good Luck. WolfpackRon.
