I have recently encoded an AVI file that was 699mb into mpeg, but the mpeg is now 1.85gb, and the actual video is about 60 minites so it fits onto a cd time wise, but is there any way to shrink an mpeg file size to about 700mb so i can fit it all on to one disk?? Please help!! Thanks Candiria
Depends.... if you converted to a "file-MPEG" then no, it will be that big however I suspect you are trying to make an VCD? For more info on encoding to (S)VCD with TMPGEnc: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/43085
if you're making vcd, it shouldn't be a problem to fit 60 minutes of vid on 1 cd. its smaller resolution and normally 1150kbps. so if its svcd you're making, you thought you wwant it to be in a good quality, the only way of getting it smaller is lower the bitrate, and the audio as lowest as possible. but this will compromise the video quality, you could tweak the video; IVTC it to 24fps and put a 3:2 pulldown during playback flag, use custom quantize matrix that will compress more, HVS good is the best choice here, lower the video bitrate a little and audio at 192 kbps. or you could just put it on 2 cd. good luck
