I am a noob. I downloaded a divx, and it was about 730 MB. I want to burn this movie to a CD-R. The file is to big, and i dont know how to shrink it. I have tried virtual dub and there is an error when i first try to open the file. I have downlaoded several files like this. Please help me find a way to shrink the file and maintain the great quality. Thanks.

Try this. In Nero, click file - preferences and click the expert features tab. Click "enable overburn" and set the limit to 99min. Now try and burn the data cd and if it asks you do you want to write overburn, click yes!

VirtualDUB!! Just open the file and click video - direct stream copy. click audio and direct stream copy. then look at the line of buttons at the bottow. The last two mean start selection and end selection. so you just choose from where you want to start to where you want to finish and click file - save avi!

here we go again. Dela giving out duff advice. At least this time he was half right. Fine, choose overburn in Nero, but at least tell the guy he has to use a disc with enough capacity on it....what a noob. You want to use a 90min CD for best results.

Joninio. Send Dela a private message if you must, but if you continue to flood these forums with abuse you will get banned from these forums.

Paul.

PS : Maybe you guys should try and shake hands. Perhaps Afterdawn is big enough for the both of you.

ok no more abuse, as long as Dela stops giving out bad advice. Overburning a 650MB CD could wreck this guys CDReWriter. A little knowledge is dangerous as they say.

nandub, it can handle vbr audio better but like its almost the same as virtualdub so you may encounter the same problem!

In answer to your question, which I believe was editing the divx, I was not sure what you actually want to do. If it is :

Burn divx to CD to play on DVD standalone, then sorry, you can't do that, they won't play, you need to convert first.

If it was:

Convert the divx into something that is playable on DVD standalone, but cut off the credits so you can fit is on one disc, then if the movie is about 75 minutes then you could do this. If it is longer, then no, because typically VCDs compliant MPG will fit about 75 minutes on a normal disc (OK, yes you can overburn, but it depends on media and could be risky)

So if you want to convert this divx and burn it, your best bet would be TMPGEnc, just load it up on the main screen and select VCD settings, PAL/MTSC, depending on where you are and after that use the Merge and Cut facility in MPEG tools to (you guessed it!) merge or cut the file.

Good luck.

Paul.
