The simplest applications I imagine are:
- TMPGEnc 2.5 free to encode (AVI ---> PAL/NTSC VCD MPG)
- VCDGear to auhtor a VCD (MPG --> bin/cue VCD image)
The only TMPGEnc 2.5 free limitation is the impossibility to load/encode MPEG-2 (thet is, SVCD or DVD mpegs), so it suits your needs.

Use a bitrate calculator to determine how large you WANT your file to be.

aldaco12,
Hello, i try your method,but TMPGEnc encodes my movie from a 692MB movie to a almost 900MB movie.I tried many other video conversion programs,but got the same result.Why does it get that big?Man this is so frustrating.I could easy put it on DVD but i dont want to waste a disc for a 692MB movie...Do you have any idea why this is happening?Thanks in advance.

Hey if your video file size is 900mb then all you have to do is burn it to 2 cds.to do that you will need this software. It's a trial but I think you can use it ten times.Hope this helps!

u could try allok AVI to DVD, VCD converter. It has an easy to use interface and u can select the quality of the output file to match the size of ur disc space.
Great for cramming 2 episodes of lost onto one cd.

Ignore all the crap. VCD are MPEG-1 encoded with video bitrate = 1500 kbps CBR, and you cannot do anything to avoid 1' VCD movie being = 10 MB.
whassup method is only used for DVD movies, whose video bitrate is 2500-8500 kbps VBR and which can have audio 128-448 kbps CBR [either MP2 or AC3].
VCD has video = MPEG-1 1500 kbps CBR and audio MP2 = 224 CBR, and therefore I assume your movie was 90' long.
You can do this:
1) buy a DVD player capable to play DivX files. Time needed: time needed to burn a CD. Quality loss = none.
2) Transform the AVI into 2 VCD MPEG-1 files (movie_CD1.mpg and movie_CD2.mpg). TMPGenc's command is Setting___Advanced___Select Range (0-F for movie_CD1 and F+2 --> end for movie_CD2 [F=frame]). When done, author two VCDs. Usually a movie is about 2h, and therefore needs two 80' CD-R.
Time needed: some hours. Quality loss: depends on the input movie. Please note the VCD movie will have to become a 352x288/240 (PAL/NTSC) movie.
3) Study the CQ encoding ( http://www.kvcd.net/portal/index.php ), get the TMPGEnc KVCD templates ( http://kvcd.net/dvd-models.html , expecially http://kvcd.net/KVCD-CQ-352x240-_NTSCFilm_-PLUS.mcf and http://kvcd.net/KVCD-CQ-352x288-_PAL_-PLUS.mcf) templates and transform the AVI into 1 KVCD M1V (K-MPEG-1 video) + M2V audio. Once done, multiplex M1V and MP2 with TMPGEnc choosing, as type, MPEG-1 (non-standard).
Alas , you have to 'guess' the Q value (KVCD are CQ=Constant Quality ancoded movies) which gives, as output, a 800 MB M1V file.
There are applications to provided such estimates, but aren't precise (they make an estimate based on the choice of a sub-set of the input movie).
Time needed: many many hours. Quality loss = a little more than VCD.
What to do, then? You must choose.

Actually, VCD has an 1150 kbps video bitrate. My method works for creating an xVCD, as long as your stand-alone can handle it. Most newer DVD players (ie. any cheapie DVD player bought in last 3-4 years) can handle it.

forget vcds, burn kvcds.
kvcd = entire movie on one cd-r that will still play in any player that plays vcds. extra points if you make a ksvcd and do the header trick.

You've gotta remember that video quality will significantly decrease when you try to drop the bitrates.
With DVD's costing pennies, making kvcd/xvcd/xsvcd/ksvcd isn't as glamorous as it used to be.
