Hello
I have an avi file that i made using proshow producer. its a disc of all my childrens photos which is about 28 minutes long when i play it in my dvd player after converting it. I converted this file using convertxtodvd and when i did this it shrunk it to 1.3 gigs. I thought that avi files were smaller than mpeg files. am i going to always have to covert these files if i want to store them on my harddrive if i want to minimize space.
thank you

Your assumption is mistaken.

The restraint on the DVD encoding has to do with the minimum
and maximum bit rate allowed for the DVD standard.

How much space an avi > DVD conversion will use has everything to
do with the running time (minutes), and nothing to do with the
size (bytes) of the AVI.

I see a lot onhre about .avi to mpeg/DVD, but NOTHING so far on how to take an mpeg DVD movie file I have ripped and transfer it over to .avi (that I can then burn onto a DVD) to save space--are there any free programs that do this? It'd be akin ot VOBBlanker, which can transfer PAL to NTSC--that's the kind of thing I am looking for. Thanks!

LOL, love you geeks on here--so hysterical with your self-important finger-wagging!

Thanks--I only get on here to answer a quick question--I don't waste my time online, so I could not know it is mentioned all the time. Thanks!
