File Too Big.......

[rf9rider]

I`m currently d`loading a mpeg movie, 853245kb, in the description it says its too big to burn to a cd, if this is true, is there any way to compress it or cut it in half so i can burn it? Thanks.

[fkdup74]

cd or dvd?

[rf9rider]

I want to burn it to cd.

[Cyril]

Check out AVI SPlitter (available on KL). There is other software out there too that can help to split files.

[netweiser]

depends. are you burning it as a CD-ROM type of thing, or as a video cd? If your burning as a CD-ROM you could always convert it to another format such as WMV. This might help get it onto 1 CD, but will also slightly effect the quality. (allthough i find WMV to be very high quality for the file size). If your burning as a video CD, then try AVI spliter, or another tool that can split movies up. You might be able to find a package dedicated to Video CD burning, including all the tools you need in one. :)

[ehnoismemu]

if it is a MPEG, then burn it as VCD (or SVCD).

if it's a .avi you can burn it using XCD, available at sourceforge.

[rf9rider]

Thanks all.

I'm not sure, but i think that VCDs burn by the length of the movie, not the size correct me if i'm wrong, ;)

[Gre1]

I will correct u VCD's go by size.

[junkyardking]

Your both correct to a degree, it depends both on the quality(size) and the length of the movie, you can fit over 80 mins on a 700mb/80 min cd, the max size can be about 800mb - 820mb depending on how far the particular cd can be overburned.

But the size qouted 853mb is far too big for a 80min/700mb cd, you could either depending on if it's an avi or svcd/vcd, split the movie, get a 800mb cd, burn to dvd or get a smaller version.

as Ive said 1000 tiems it depends on the lenghth not the size!!

If u mean the lenth of the movie then your wrong cause I can put up to 120 mins on a 80 min cd BUT the filesize has to be under 797mb.

[muchspl2]

well with kvcd I can get 9 ep&#39;s of the simpsons one 80min cdr
same quailty as rl avi it came in
whats that like 3 +hours
could get more but like to balence quailty to get a nice pic

[ForbiddenDNA]

Where do you get the AVI Splitter?

[Gre1]

Do u know how to search if u do then search here or even better would be to search for it in yahoo search engine instead of waiting for a reply on it. Yahoo almost never fails.

Both great programs, very easy to use. If you need a serial PM me.

think he means vcd
for that you need tmpgenc (in my sig)
it will convert your movies to mpeg1(vcd) or mpeg2(svcd)

for spliting tmpgenc will split mpg (what you have to convert it to to play on stand alone player)
but if you want to split avi
get virtal dub mod (like virtul-dub just better build)
free program and does alot of handy things removies audio/bad frams
too much to list

[downloadgeek]

Alrite, so using this program how do i split the files in half??? Also after i am done converting what program would i use to burn it and how would i burn it?

[Gre1]

What program are u using.

[downloadgeek]

im using tmpgenc

do i convert the entire file then split it? if so how do i?

[Gre1]

Yes encode the entire file then split. I take u mean how to spilt just go to file>Mpeg tools hit the merge & cut tab then clik add to add the .mpg then double-clik the file or simply clik edit then set where u want to cut the file and then hit run.

[muchspl2]

and nero to BURN BABY BURN&#33;
in my sig under cdr software

[downloadgeek]

to split will it take long???


also how long do u think it will take to convert. I am running @ only 128mb and 1.40gHz.

It doesn&#39;t take long to split the file. just start encoding and see how long it takes.

no, i didn&#39;t mean VCD, i really meant XCD.

if u use bsi loadmaker (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/bsiloadmaker/BsiLoadMaker408final.exe?download), it has xcd "built-in". bsi loadmaker is a tool used to burn DivX/XviD movies, so even if you put the burnt cd in a computer which has no player or/and codecs installed, it will play the movie flawlessly. works like a charm.

another way to achieve the 800mb is using cdrdao. you can download cdrdao here (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cdrdao/cdrdao-1.1.7.bin.x86.win32.zip?download), a command-line program that allows you to burn cd&#39;s in mode2 - form2. in other words, you can burn approx. 800mb in a 700mb cd. as i said before, this is recommended for AUDIO or VIDEO files.

search google and you&#39;ll find some GUI&#39;s to make it easier.

You can burn 797mb on a 700mb cd with nero as vcd without using all that cdrdao shit.

[ehnoismemu]

You can burn 797mb on a 700mb cd with nero as vcd without using all that cdrdao shit.

now tell me if with nero you can burn 797mb of an .avi file.

with the "cdrdao shit" you can.

Oh ok, excuse me but what is he going to do with it, his DVD player won&#39;t play it he want&#39;s to watch it not store it.

[muchspl2]

could do it with kvcd or data
80min cdr = 800mb without over burn

[ehnoismemu]

Oh ok, excuse me but what is he going to do with it, his DVD player won&#39;t play it he want&#39;s to watch it not store it.

ok, sorry too... i forgot he wanted to watch it on his dvd player. you&#39;re right.

[mogadishu]

yea.. the split takes a matter of minutes and im running a 600mhz p3.

[downloadgeek]

Alrite so i did my first converting using TMPG, i converted it to a VCD. Well first off there is no sound, secondly the size is 2.4gb and for some reason the length of the movie is now 4 hours but its only 1 and a half. The other two and half hours are just black screen.

[downloadgeek]

Alrite, i was able to get the black stuff away but now i still have no sound ? :(

[Gre1]

Oops u know what...U didn&#39;t use the wizard did u if u didn&#39;t u should have but u probably encoded it with it on ES(Video Only) the first bubble at the bottom if u did you were supposed to put it on System (Video+Audio) but you might not be in trouble because it can be fixed if you still have your source. Do u still have your source?

[puk:))]

could i use AVI splitter to trim down a version of matrix reloaded i have on divx?

its just slightly too big for a disc.

(i mean getting rid of the credits & things)

or if theres any other ideas.. the divx is about 740mb.

[Gre1]

Well, first off 740mb will but if it&#39;s a DIVX meaning it&#39;s in .avi format can&#39;t be burned to a cd AND watched in a DVD player has to be encoded but for storage purposes just do it as a DATA CD.

[puk:))]

sorry.. i wasnt very clear.... i&#39;m not looking to watch mine in a dvd player (have a tv out) but do want to get it off my hard drive.

740mb of divx.. i&#39;d like to fit it on 1 disc... is it possible? will i have to trim it & can i use avi splitter for that?

[Gre1]

Yes as a Data cd not vcd to get it off of your computer. Just use Nero Burning Rom and select when it pops up just go to Nero Express choose Data (the quick way to do it).

[puk:))]

i normally burn them as data cd&#39;s but as i said the size is too big to burn (atleast with nero).

any other ideas?

[Gre1]

740mb is not too big as vcd and I think it&#39;s the same with data. Did u try it

[puk:))]

yea i have tried to burn it as a data cd.... im not at home right now but i think the file size is 744mb... just alittle too big.

[Gre1]

Well yeah u can just split it and put it on two disc but so u won&#39;t waste a disc try putting something on the second disc like another .avi that will fit or just some random files u might want to backup.

[puk:))]

i&#39;ll give it a try.... maybe just take the credits off & see if it&#39;ll fit.

thanks for your help Gre1. ;)

No problem u have any other problems let me know.

[downloadgeek]

I did use the wizard. Also when i split it, it went through the audio track.

[Gre1]

Everything works right now doesn&#39;t it have u gotten any success from trying to split the movie.

[downloadgeek]

I still dont have an audio when when it was building the frames(or whatever u call it for the split) it said audio and then went through the seconds. This is odd cause i dont seem to have any audio&#33; :S

[Gre1]

U encoded this file right already right.

[downloadgeek]

alrite but how come no sound?

have you heard the news? 1mb is not 1000kb. 853245kb is not 853mb. :lol:

[Gre1]

I asked u if u encoded this already if u did and u still have no sound you can do something to get the sound but I want to know first before I write out how to do it.

[downloadgeek]

Yes i have encoded it.

[ehnoismemu]

nero, easy cd creator, winoncd and other software (but cdrdao) do not allow you to burn that ammount of data into a cd as a DATA CD.

as i said before, use cdrdao, burn your .avi into the cd using mode2 - form2, and you&#39;re done.

[Gre1]

Ok now if u have your source then just do this get Virtual Dub program open up the source in there then go to audio> full processing mode then go to File>sav .wav then it will make about a 1 gig wave file then get this program called Headache (it has plugins it needs, I don&#39;t know if they come with it but it will let u know which ones u need) then enter your .wav and then change the .WAV tab to .mp2 then clik options twice lower the bitrate to the quality u want (make sure the size is not to big so it will fit with the movie then hit start. Then the last program u need is bbmpeg>hit start encoding then what ever u encoded it as (VCD,SVCD choose that bubble at the top) then go to input/output files then go to Open VS enter the file u have encoded it should say .m1v (IF IT DOESN&#39;T LET ME KNOW) then in Open AS 1 then enter the .mp2 u just made and hit start. When it&#39;s get done u should have a .mpg with the sound now.
