Hi all. Just used nero recode to convert a DVD movie (Bruce_Almighty) to MPEG 4. All went well, except the actual size. You see, I wanted to get it to fit onto an 80min CD, the size it shoes is under 700mb, so alls well right? Wrong. When I went to burn it, it states it alot larger than it appears. Approximately 2gb in size. Anyone know why? Or what I did wrong, if so? Thanks again...
Hi j_holmes, Funny that you're playing with just that DVD. I once tried to compress it using DVD Shrink multiple times (I ran it through 6X). The best I could do, trimming everything off and starting with the opening scene and finishing with the last scene was 840MB. That was the smallest possible. (Lol) and you thought you tried – We all learn Well we're not talking about me. we're worried about you - To get from where you are to where you wish to go you'll have to convert the DVD files to AVI. There's a proggy made just for that, it's called DVD2AVI and you can get it here – http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_rippers/dvd2avi.cfm As I said, you'll have no trouble with that – Cheers good guy, We'll chat later, over by the water cooler ) Pete
Thanks alot Pete. So you've tried that same movie, thats funny. LOL. For some reason I managed to get it on a CD, I ran the mpeg4 file through recode and chose to burn it to a disk rather than on my HD. But the thing is I couldnt make a VCD with it. I'm on my way to trying the APP you suggested. Thanks for the reply..
