Hello
I am trying to convert an AVI movie which is 750MB long into MPEG1 to record on a VCD. However the the it says the the resulting file will be more than 4GB long and asks me if I should continue. I clicked yes and indeed the file was more than 4GB long. I repeated the process again and the result was the same. There is no way I can record this movie on so many CDs. I dont think the resulting MPEG files should be so long. I am doing something wrong somewhere. Can someone please help. I used Gspot utility to find out more about the avi file and in summary it says video format div3, bitrate 466, 25fps, DiVX3-low motion. Audio format is 0x0055(MP3) ID'd as MPEG-1 Layer 3 and bitrate 93 kb/s (46/ch x 2 ch) VBR.
Thanks to you in advance.

If you are using TMPGEnc, then click settings. Click the advanced tab and tick the box beside source range! Now you should see the source range screen but if you dont, double click on source range. Then click "move to start frame" and click "set start frame", then click "move to end frame" and click "set end frame" and click ok. Now try encoding and see!

Are you sure you haven't created an MPEG2 DVD file?

I tried doing what Dela said. The estimated time for conversion does come down from 15 hours to about 5 hours now. But few minutes into the conversion it stops and gives error message -537403781 0 error. this message doesn;t appear when I do it the way I originally did it. I really dont know what it means. Does anyone here know?
Yes I am pretty sure I am creating VCD MPEG 1 file.

After several attempts I finally succeded in creating the MPEG file about 1.7GB long. Now I cannot get any sound when I play this MPEG file. I tried playing it with WINDVD, WMP, Real Player. Can anyone help.
