duboy1, you can merge with TMPGenc___MPEG Tools___Merge & Cut and can make a DVD mpeg-2 movie, with the movies you're talking about. But 2 CDs are cheaper than a DVD. More, the movie resolution won't be bigger than the one of the original movie. Why do you want to do this? Just to have less objects? If you use the KVCD templates for TMPGenc (read the 'sticky' thread) a movie can stay in a single CD (they declare that 120' of SKCD-movie [352x480/576 NTSC/PAL] will fit on a single CD)!
CFalafel, .AVI movies can be of any resolution (from 352x240 to >700x400!)
Of course, you must select different codec's 'profiles' and the .AVI size depends on the movie reslution you want to keep + the goodness of the codec used (DivX and Xvid are the best ones).
Using TMPGenc you can create any type of MPEG: VCD MPEG-1, SVCD MPEG-2, up to DVD MPEG-2 and how good it is depends mainly by the resolution of the original movie and if the resoution is achieved by 'guess' or if it is reduced from a greater one.
Ususlly I prefere AVIs, they are smaller and, after a while of good TMPGenc encoding, can be what I want (bur you must own a registered codec, the COding capability is freeware, the DECoding capability is not. Maybe Xvid is freeware, but using it is not so simple).
A movie can be .AVI compressed with good quality up to 700/800 MB with a good codec used well; the same movie in .MPG is about twice so big (mpeg-2 are even bigger than mpeg-1!)
If one doesn't own any codec, or didn't learn to use any codec, he/she preferes to make mpegs (mpeg-1:VCD or mpeg-2: DVD or SVCD) since the useful applications are more or less free (alas, I don't deal with DVD ripping, I don't own a DVD reader, but I think I'm right).
