I Use VCDCutter and when i load in the movie and Start Where i want it and i end where i want it to end the other options doesn't load up. So i can't go any farther. I Also Use TMPGEnc and after i cut it, it will want to convert to .mpg. whats a good program where i can just cut and save simply ??

Even with that fossil, you it shouldn't take a week. Is your hard drive really full?

You could use VirtualDub, but the CD won't play in a standalone.

I mean normal DVD player, like a Sony, or Daewoo (yeah, somebody buys them!) which is black/silver and sits near your TV, rather than in your PC.

I'd recommend you encode an svcd with DVD2SVCD and TMPGEnc or CCE SP. CCE SP is better but unfortunately it costs a lot and the demo has annoying protection!! If you use DVD2SVCD with TMPGEnc it will automatically split the files at the 800mb limit so you'll have them ready to burn to cd-r's

SVCD is Mpeg-2 wheras VCD is Mpeg-1. SVCD can have VBR encoding which means, higher quality :) and more on one disk. If you use the following settings,

VBR Mpeg-2

Min: 300kb/s
Average: 1600kb/s
Max: 2450kb/s
4 pass encoding (2 pass with TMPGEnc)
Audio 44100hz 224kb/s

With TMPGEnc, avi to svcd with dvd2svcd using the settings above would take about 10 hours to complete an average length movie. CCE SP would take about 5 and have higher quality!

DVD2SVCD is actually simple to use, click encoder and set it for TMPGEnc (or CCE SP). Then choose 2 pass vbr. Click birate and enter values as above! Click CD-Images and click "Don't make images", you're better off not to! Click Misc and select avi as your source and mpeg-2 as your output.

Its always best to to select a folder to save the movie and project files to so create a new folder. Click encoder and set that folder as the one to save in. Click Pulldown and select that folder to save in. Then click conversion. Before you do anything, you should preview to see, click go and click preview video, if it seems stretched or anything then change the aspect ratio till it looks ok. Then you can click Go and click Start conversion. Now this will in fact take a looooong time with TMPGEnc but you will be left with 2 files, none bigger than the capacity of an 80min cd!

You can fit an hour of svcd onto an 80min disk if you use the settings i mentioned!

In DVD2SVCD, click conversion and change Aspect Ratio to 16:9 instead of 4:3. Then click go and click preview video (still picture).

Unfortunately its too late, you cant make that change without re-encoding!

You can do mpg to mpg but of course i would recommend that you use the original avi for quality purposes!
