Resizing DIVX movies
I have downloaded a few DIVX type AVI files. I'm a newbie at this, obviously. When I try to burn them into a VCD, they are almost always oversize. The movies are only 1.5 hours long, so from what I gather, I SHOULD be able to fit them on. How do I go about resizing one of these suckaz?
I read online that I could use a program, TMPGEnc, to change the bitrate. But, when I do this, I end up with a HUGE mpg file (along the lines of 2.5G). Help is appreciated, folks. |

TMPGenc is indeed the way to go. use the project wizard, select the output format you want (VCD), and in this case, cut it up into two bits. A VCD fits some 80 minutes worth of video, not 90 minutes.
If you need help, google around, try the TMPGenc help function, or ask here again. ![]() |

Try using virtualdub, or nandub - for some pretty good results (nandub lets you use vbr mp3 for the sound)

I'm not having any luck so far with any of the listed programs. All I need to do is lower the bitrate a little, so that I can fit this 80 minute movie on a 74 minute CD.
TMPGEnc seems to make HUGE files no matter what I do Nandub encoded for 3 hours, and when done, I couldn't even find the output movie. All I had on my drive was the original. And it never gives me an option or menu as to where it would be saved. I'll keep trying, though. |

According to this TMPGEnc guide, you should be able to get some movies on one disk. Take a look:

A Video CD (VCD) can contain (almost) as much video as it can contain audio: a 74 minute CD can contain some 73 minutes of video (the rest is filled with some control programs and indexes).
When you use the TMPGenc wizard, it allows you to select the required output (VCD, ntsc or pal), then select the video source, then do some extra tweaking (usually size conversion and/or cutting the movie into two or more parts of less than 74/80 minutes), and then select the location to save it to. It'll also show you how large the resulting file would be, and if it'll fit on a CD at all. Being a wizard, it *should* be pretty simple. Then again, I have a lot of experience, and know what I'm doing. ![]() |

virtual dub is awesome and can do almost anything...it just takes a while to learn...it was a bit of a learning curve to mask out one bad frame in my Two Towers movie. I also used it to cut out 30 megs of credits in my Big Lebowski movie so I could burn it onto one CD.
use XVID codecs too... |
