    I downloaded a movie in XVid format. It looks great but I don't know how to output it to disc. It won't burn to DVD obviously. I tried burning to VCD but the file is too long at 900mb. Any suggestions?

    I'm just about to check this out w/ Nero SVCD encoding...8 Mile [XviD] is the project.
    I have a CD Burner that can over-burn & handles 99min CD's but I've had to uninstall it due to wanting a DVD-Rom installed aswell & IDE Cable not being able to handle anymore hardware (until updating is done)

    Pioneer 104 DVD-RW
    Lite-On 165H DVD-Rom

    Does your hardware allow either 90/99min CD-R ?

    Generally the idea with vcd is to split the files with tmpgenc or something for 2 cd's, ahve you tried that??

    Splitting things over 2 discs...hukk-tooey !

    (I can't get DVD Architect,TMPEGEnc,Xing Encoder etc to accept XviD movie full stop...even tho I have an XviD Codec)

    I have Koepi XviD codec and a few others like DivX 5.02 or 03 cant remember...an old codec by GEJ

    err DivX 3.11 Alpha

    my mind is a blank as to any more to be honest

    (I'm able to play the XviD movies I wish to encode but D'OH...software aint havin' it)!

    Perhaps the software is resusing because it cant understand the weirdly compressed audio that comes with most xvid and divx files??

    hehe

    more than likely , i've read all the 'UPSIDE DOWN' threads and so on...

    It's a shame it's so hard to encode some XviD's cos they are really good quality video/audio

    I was gonna make it a project & make sure I got to the bottom of it but...I can't be arsed anymore (too much like hard work)

    I have a TV Out on my TV Card so isn't really a nightmare : P

    Cheers anyway Dela

    I have recompressed xvid video. I had to make sure I had the most recent DivX files and I installed Vidomi. Which is a xvid player with it's codecs. I then was able to encode it to mpeg2 DVD NTSC with either Canopus Procoder, or Ulead Multimedia Studio <video Editor> 7. I have had no problems in that field. Hope that helps

    Ulead Media Studio 6 should work fine. But Lately with some of the newer newer movies.. I haven't been as good of results. But I have been doing a few things different. <different sound adjustments and such>
