Converting AVI
 

ok, im kind of a n00b at these things. I have this movie, its an avi. its just shy of 16MB of fitting on a 700MB CD.. now I was wondering if there is anyway of making it smaller so it'll fit onto an 700MB CD.. or do i have to split it into 2 and burn it on 2 cd's?

are there converting programs out there that was make it smaller? (waits for flames) so it will fit on the CD?

ive tried opening it up in premier and even movie maker, but it doesnt want to open it.

...or I can buy 720MB cd's right?

yes

/me gently violates Buckweed.

Buy 800mb ones.

use Windows movie maker and convert it to mpg

[quote="@rkley":2d045]Buy 800mb ones.[/quote:2d045]just use DVD-R's and put on 5gigs of info rock:

i've tried that, they usually come out shitty quality. i guess i messed up with the resolution though...

there is video cutting software you can try, if you dont mind losing that 16 mb or whatever

I would like to cut it.. but it wont let me open it up in premier or movie maker.. and I just came back from best buy and all they had was 700MB cd's and I cant get DVD'Rs cuz I dont have a dvd burner.

balls in your mouttttthhhhhhh

there is a program i saw that cuts out all the crap that you dont want like the french versions and all the extras and shit so its just the plain movie so it fits on a disk, ill see if i can find it again for ya.

hmm
 

What about winrar?

In compresses... eek:

some burning programs allow you to over burn. ive put 800 mg bin files on a 700 mg cd before. you using nero or what?

Buckweed, is it just for storage or do you want to watch the movie from the CD(s)?

I want to burn the movie to cd's so I can watch it on my DVD player.. my DVD palyer supports all kinds of media

yes.. Nero Express.

ok, so your putting a AVI file as a data cd for your player?

just try and burn it like that... w/ nero, see what happens

so you're saying burning it as a data cd will lower the size? cuz ive been trying to burn it as VCD

depends, burning a VCD will convert the AVI to MPEG and then burn it (sometimes causing size change)

if your dvd player plays Divx/AVi movies then try a data cd

hmm ok, thanks

buy a dvd burner

best $80 ive spent on my computer ever

Nero supports that as far as i know, if u wanna burn a video cd it'll automatically change the file type and size to fit on the disc.

I think anyway, been ages since i done it.

hmm.. not much a dvd burner kind of person.. I know I wouldn't use it alot.. I just need it this one time. heh

bah.. burning a data cd didnt work in my dvd player :(

Try video cd nub oOo:

you can overburn with nero. so , you can fit a vcd > 700 mg on a 700mg cd.


this is what you wanna look for :

in nero burning rom (not express) goto file / preferences / expert features tab. ***(this is wrong. you wanna click what is clicked in the pic) enable dvd/ cd over burning. when you go to burn it will ask you if you wanna enable overburn or something like that ... say si.


... whats the file type?

I did this morning.. It encoded the movie for about an hour. then when it came time to burn.. it sed the Medium was not large enough.

annoy: read judas post

omfg.. wtf is going.. now when I try to add it in nero it says its an unsupported file type.. avi? oOo:

try nero express

update and youll get the needed encoders for all files types : wmv, mpg, etc.

get the first and second update packs.



do you also have nero burning rom ? not "express" its the one for nubs.

I dont know wtf is going on

I got this error for one of the updates

CRC failed in NeroVision\NeroFiles\CDI\CDI_IMAG.RTF
Unexpected end of archive

and the other update is just a demo verion and it sed it will overwrite my nero express.

and now the only thing that will play the movie is my DivX, nothing else

lol
