ok...after many hours scaning various forums i decided to jump in the deep
end and try and convert a DIVX MPG4 AVI file i downloaded into SVCD for
playing back on my DVD.

I managed to convert the DivX MPEG-4 DVD Video Decompressor file into (i
think) SVCD. Only my WINDVD will play the file now and i dont seem to have
lost the sound or quality. so far so good.

The file has grown from approx 720 Meg to 1.6 Gig. I decided that i needed
to split it so i can burn it to two 800 meg cds. So again i had a good read
and got totally confused.

I then read that i could just use AVI2MPG2 (bbMPEG) to convert the original
AVI file to two MPG2 files (SVCD format). I followed a guide which wasnt
very clear and started the process off. Alas...it has been running for
nearly 24 hours and its due to finish tomorrow. I have to ask the question.
is what i am doing correct ? and is there an idiot guide to converting the
AVI into 2 MPG2 files ready for a SVCD burn ?

thanx for your time :)

i haven't tried this with svcd mpeg2, but tmpgenc has a file splitting tool under the one of its menus. I have tried it for VCD mpeg1 in the past and works real fast. may be worth a try.

TMPGEnc's MPEG-2 splitting hangs every now and then, but its definately your best bet. Other way is to encode AVI directly to 2 separate MPEG-2s using TMPGEnc and its source range selection (select first half of the frames for first clip and rest for the second).
