Hi,
I had some AVI files on my pc that i recently encoded to VCD format, the original file size was approx 700mb & around 4.5gb once id finished encoding. Im trying to put this onto a blank DVD+R disc using nero burning rom 6,im not sure if this can be done??? i dont know how to change the setting to accept this disc size??? can this be done, or am i flogging a dead horse so to speak???
P.S thanx for in advance for any replies that follow.
Your Posting is a little confusing. You say you have an AVI file that you are converting to VCD, but then you say you wan to put it on a DVD? Why VCD?
VCD can only be written to CD-R or CD-RW media. Same with SVCD. That is why they have the 'CD' in the name. Which comes to Video Compact Disc (VCD), Super Video Compact Disc (SVCD), and Compact Disc (CD). :-)
You should be creating a DVD-Video disc, and you can use Nero Vision Express to take the AVI file and create a DVD-Video disc from it.
When you try to create a dvd though, it inflates the file size loads tho. I have a bunch of 200mb files I want to burn to a single dvd, but it keeps inflating them to 800mb. How do i copy VCD quality movies onto a dvd?
How do you create a poor quality video such as VCD on a better qualify video such as DVD?
You can't with Nero Vision Express. You are taking a Video that is in lower resolution and going to a higher resolution. So there will be changes to the File Size.
What you can do, is use a third party Encoder software, such as TMPGEnc and convert the source file to MPEG-2/DVD Compliant files and see what size you can obtain with it, and then use Nero Vision to burn the resulting file to DVD-Video.
thanks, but thats not really what i meant. What i did was use winavi to convert the AVI files to VCD files (mpegs) and then burn the resulting files as a dvd data disc. My dilemma was that i wanted to take the exact same VCD files and simply burn them to a larger medium, so i could store more. Im amazed no-one has encountered this problem. The only thing now is, how do I create a decent looking menu?
