You need to use TMPGEnc in order to split it. But file with size of that fits nicely to 80min CD, if burned in VCD format. Look at our article section for instructions how to burn VCDs with Nero.
I have the same problem. My file size is 3.9 GB but it's only 69 minutes. When I try to burn it using Nero 5.5 I get not enough disk space error message.
If your file is 69mins and 3.9GB, it's _not_ in VCD compliant format, but instead most likely MPEG-2 file. Split it using DVTool if you wish -- instructions are on our article page -- or re-encode it using TMPGEnc to VCD format.
what is the best capture software to record from VHS or digital Camera? I'm currentlly using Windows Media Encoder and Microsoft Movie Maker which i think designed for web and PC file but not VCDs & DVDs.
What is the best setting for VCD with the recommended software?
I've written about year ago a guide for capturing videos using AVI_IO -- I always use non-compressed or slightly compressed format, like Huffyuv or M-JPEG for capturing, with maximum quality and resolution (704x576 for PAL). I end up having HUGE file, sometimes over ten gigs. But these files have _perfect_ quality.
Then I simply encode the files into SVCD format using TMPGEnc's 2-pass VBR encoding. This method provides absolutely best picture quality what you can achieve by capturing material -- using lossy compression on-the-fly, like VCD or DivX, loses normally frames and also can't be used for multipass encoding, because of the nature of the procedure.
