Vcd Problem

[50 Cent]

i have been trying to make a VCD with Nero (6 ultr Edition) but so far i am unable to do so. the reason for this is that the file i am trying to burn is 659MB and i have got Blank CD which size 700MB but when i drag the file into Nero the file converts into 826MB and therefore i am unable to make a VCD.

what do i need to do to get rid of this problem!!!!!!

Your are gonna need to split the file, and alos nero is recommended to encode.
Follow guide in sig or go to to dvdrhelp.com

Edit: welcome to the board

why split the file cos the file i wana burn size 659MB and i got 700MB and what is that encoding shit!

[yyiryyib]

is it an mpeg or an avi?

[50 Cent]

its a AVI file but does it really make any difference.

I am assuming that you have an .avi file. the file must converted to a .mpg1 for a vcd, mpeg2 for a svcd. These make the filesizes larger (although vcd's do not work on filesizes) end point for a vcd is said to be hard at around 800MB, but that depends on alot of things. If you are set on using just 1 cd edit out the start and end credits, that may bring it down enough.

Where it talks about encoding just change that to vcd instead svcd If you just wanna make a vcd, If you want it to fit on one cd same principle apply as the editing part with virtual dub. just select a start and end point.

did you try cutting the opening and the end credits??

[50 Cent]

how big is it now and did you put on over burn in nero and also dvd help is up right now

[50 Cent]

the file itself is 1.40GB but when i put in Nero it becomes 780MB

i tried that dvd help but its complicated site, has to much information and its hard to find what i am looking for!

[MUSLEMAN]

hit me and i will take you to the guide for avi to vcd lol (http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/mpg/avi2svcd.htm)

the lower the speed the better the quality of the burn unless you are looking for coasters :lol:

you can now make a dvd compatiable disk on one cd, kvcd and mvcd, some file sizes are less than the avis they came from but in most cases larger none the less they fit on a single disk, google those terms and youll find out how theyre used, youll need tmpgenc, which is what i use to encode, vital. Use virtual dub to strip the audio (file>save wav) then open tmpgenc using the wizard you want to create a pal vcd (unless you add the kvcd and mvcd templates which are preconfigured and ready to convert) and configure all the options, add movie and audio files, aspect ratio, etc (i use 4:3 625 line pal) then convert away, after its done (it will take approx 20 mins less the full length of the film, processor dependant really) open the 1-2gb file in tmpgenc again then via the mpeg tools split the file into two parts, now open nero and point to each to burn as a vcd, brief help...lol
