If you mean like making a VCD nero can do it automatically.

not all mpgs can be turned into VCDs... in my experience

Download TMPGEnc from www.tmpgenc.net and encode the avi using the VCD template.

Tsunami MPG Encoder ^^^ is nice quick application. Supports remuxing files ripped from VOBs, takes many input formats to all the MPEG standards..

Well worth it.

When I try that it seems to create a really big file...i kinda want to fit it in a cd..

for example say i have a 400mb file..when i drag it in..its like over 700mb!

call me a noob...unless u can help mee :)

In general, each minute of video takes around 10M as a VCD. When you're burning the mpg as a vcd (using program like Nero), you can fit 800M on a 80min cd. So basically it's like audio cd. Hopefully this isn't too confusing ;)

MMm another question...well the time duration is more than 70 min...by any chance i can split it? which program? thks

get all video splitter from http://www.zealotsoft.net/

then convert each of the parts to VCD. To do that, you use TMPEG then the output file is a VCD compatible .mpeg and then you burn it using nero selecting VCD option.

Takes time but if you really want it go for it.

An easier way would be to edit in TMPGEnc. You can select start and end point in the "source range" option in the advanced tab.

But the most easy is Nero , it splits it automatically if i remember , use the Nero Express stuff , try Svcd it looks better
