Compressing a Movie to 1 CDR

[Wolf68]

Ok I been through all of the steps to get a movie to play on my computer and my DVD player, that is not a problem. I'm wondering if anyone knows how to compress a movie which is usually 838MB or so and 1hr 30min long to fit on a single CDR or CD-RW??

Hi Wolf68

There is several ways to do what you whant but they all have there difrent problems

1. Burn the move to a 90min or 99min CDR, Problems are not all burners burn them & not all DVD players play them

2.Encode them as XVCD or ilagal SVCD, Problems lots of DVD Players don`t play them

I think u should select a higher bitrate and burn it on 2 cds...

yes you're better off just making them into regular VCDs of 2 CDs. Will yield you the best results. As mentioned, you will have no guarantees of it working any other way (unless you do an SVCD which still requires 2 or 3 CDs).
Also if you don't plan on playing it on your standalone DVD player, you can always just make a DivX of it that will fit onto 1 CD (but make the divx from the ripped DVD files, not from another format for best results).

Good luck

As everyone above has said, I would strongly suggest you stay with Standard encoding forms like VCD. Just to many problems and imcompatabilities with other forms. A 1hr 30min movie (90min) fits fine on a 90min cdr and most new burners can burn to 90min. Also most DVD players can read 90min cdrs if they can read other cdrs.

If you dont want to go down the 90min CDR track, then have a read of Sefy's famous templates for TMPGEnc at _www.vcdhelp.com However, I do not recommend nor support them.
