How Do I Squeeze An Avi File On A Cd

[Abdali]

Hello folks,

New to this stuff I downloaded a move which is a little bit big to fit on 700Meg CD. Is there a way to reduce the size of the avi file?

Thanks for your help.

You can cut the credits off the end with virtualdub. This might make it small enough. This page will show you how.

In the future try not having to edit the movies, simply use CDRWIN to overburn. I find it works much easier and then allows for re-sharing the file without making it a different version on Kazaa. Questions regarding this please reply.

Sharedaddy's right, it's alot better to overburn the disc. sure if you're unlucky the disc might get bad, but a blank cd costs almost nothing these days.

Not to mention Ugluk, that if you wanted to re-share the movie at any point it would be a totally new file and nop one else would have it on Kazaa, overburning means that at any point in the future you could re-share the file and it would be the same file and thus probably still shared by many.

I wish the original poster would have included the file name and size he was working on, I am very interested in what he was trying to burn, as my collection is over 1000 now and I have been able to burn 99 percent of them without any special handling.

I'm new at this burning CDs and all. I have a movie that says it's 716,614 KB on the first CD & 715,908 KB on the second. I have 700 MB CDs to burn them on but for some reason (it shows to be in AVI form) it starts to burn & then stops because of an error. What am I doing wrong? Is there not enough space on the disks, or do I need to convert something? I have a more detailed posting if you want, listed under new topics.
