Hi
The guides told me the details for making AVI files into DVD files but I have an AVI file that is too big, is anyone able to help to make this a dvd file?
The documentation is below is of what to do but I cannot make it any smaller than about 1.17
Thanks

"Video resolution should be 720x480 for NTSC movies and 720x576 for PAL movies.

Next, make sure that the Audio Bitrate selection is at 384 kbps.

For Average video bitrate setting, you need to adjust this value to get the DVD-Video to be "perfectly sized" for a DVDR disc. In the bottom of the window, you see a blue bar and a text Makes file size XXX % of disk capacity. Adjust the Average video bitrate up and down until the value "XXX" states something between 95 and 97, not more than that as we need to have space for our subtitles and other stuff that will be added to the DVD compilation. Also, if your audio was in AC3 format, try to keep the value between 94 and 96 instead, as AC3 audio tends to be in 448kbps (ignore this if AVIcodec said that the AC3 bitrate was less than this).

Obviously remember to make sure that the dropdown just above the blue bar says DVD-R 4.7GB (UDF).

Once you've done these settings, click Next. "

You are not alone! Have spent days trying to work this out ..no luck so far. 'make file size % of disk capacity' just will not go below 130 odd ...FAR too big for 4.7G disc.
Movie info also saying that my 699MB AVI is 377 mins long! (actually 127)
Someone out there must know whats wrong?
