Trouble Fitting A Video File On One Cd?

[4th gen]

If you've got a video file that's too big to fit on one CD, you can try cutting off a certain portion of the file (e.g. the end credits...). It's fairly easy to do, using VirtualDub (http://www.virtualdub.org). There are only really a few steps involved:

1. Open VirtualDub and drop in your video file:

2. Move the time bar to your desired start time and click on the "start offset" arrow, as shown here:

3. Then move the bar to the desired end time and click the "end offset" arrow:

4. Then you have to choose your video compression. Go to video>compression and select a codec:

5. Then just save the file in your desired location:

Simple :)

great info & this could be helpful if they truely have to cut/trim a movie
I've never ran into a seen release movie that doesn't fit on a normal cdr
700mb cdr doesn't mean you can only fit 700mb
so to recap : if you download a movie it should fit on a normal cdr WITHOUT modification
