The fact is that these episodes are already heavily compressed and encoding them again to DVD will increase their size. What's the big deal anyway? Discs are like a quarter now.
The easy way around this is to get a DVD player that supports DivX. You can get some for $60 these days and then spend your time watching the episodes instead of trying to figure out how to convert them.

Not sure of the quality if you try to put too much episodes, but give it a try !

Will also create you a nice menu !

Hi there,

How many episodes did you try to convert ?

Maybe you had too many ?

Had settings to LOW quality, and output target set to DVD5 ?

If the footage means enough to you, you should try to use more than one disc instead of making a mess trying to save $1.50. But, if you want to do this, use a bitrate calculator. 13 episodes at 45 minutes is 585 minutes. According to the bitrate calc that means you can have a bitrate of 813kbit/s. Unless you use that bitrate, it won't fit. Of course you'll have to use a tiny resolution like 352x240 (which will look like bad VHS) with this bitrate, and when you're done the footage will look like an ungodly mess, but there you are.
The proper way to do this is to use decent DVD bitrates and put 4 episodes on each disc. You'll be able to retain most of what quality you have and get a decent amount or footage (3hrs) on each disc.

Hi guys,
To assure compliant DVD playback, there are Standards.
SP, LP, and EP - just like a VCR!
2 hours, 4 hours and 6 hours, I kid you not. On a standard 4.7GB.
Anyway, I make 2-hour AVIs that are 700MB so ~350MB seems about right for 1 hour :^)
When you transcode these to DVD with Nero, it will offer these standard quality levels as 'presets'.
At the lowest MPEG2 quality preset, you could fit 6 episodes/DVD.
It seems unfortunate that you have 13 episodes; a difficult number.
Perhaps if you take the 7 smallest episodes together, they will fit 1 DVD... or do they need to play in order?
Jigen might be right - if you don't want to watch on PC, get a DivX standalone ;^)
Anyway: DivX conversions to DVD - we have a forum for that (and this ain't it).
gooblee you should go there to get further information,
Regards
