have been trying to encode divx files with about 700mb in size, exactly the way the guide states ( http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/convert_avi_to_dvd.cfm ) . I m having a problem though. When i am either going to NTSC or PAL I cant seem to go under the disk capacity. I try to lower the vid under 2000 for 720 x 480 but u cant cause it will be low res. And i was told i shouldnt lower the audio under 384. So now i cant seem to get the disk capactiy under 100. I have tried NTC or PAL low res but u cant use 720 x 480 , which causes problems b/c u TMPG author and IFO edit dont let u author dvd files with 352 x 480. What should i do? Should i lower the audio rate, which sometimes wont even do the trick at 160. Does it even matter if i go a little over the disk capacity? SHould I split the divx file? I would like to have these divx flies on one dvd with decent quality. I would greatly appreciate it if someone can help me =). Im sure there is a solution to this .

I think you may have a duff file. When you run the Wizard and you get to the page 3/5 click on source range.

Then do this...Move to start frame/Set start frame. Move to end frame/set end frame - in that order. That will set the ammount of frames to the correct ammount.

Now on the last page drop the Sound to 128 - it doesn't need to be higher than that.

Then set the % of disk to 99% (I dunno if that is required, but I am sure I read it somewere, it just makes 100% sure it will fit on the blank DVD)- and away you go.

The resolution doesn't effect the file size, just the output quality and hence time to encode. It's a personal preference - I usually go off the quality of the DivX - if it is poor to start off with drop it to 352*576 as you aren't going to improve it.
