Too big avi for a cd

big_gie · Jul 27, 2003

Hi,

I'm sure I'm not the first aving this problem...

I have an avi, and its 714 Mb...

How to burn those!

What are you doing generaly? maybe cut the movie... Is there a tool that just cut the movie without decoding/re-encoding?

Or maybe overburn?

Or what else??

Depends. If this is a legally obtained movie then just use a 90min cd.
If its not i cant help you.

What about those 90min CD.

Are they expensive? Hard to get? compatible?

If your not concerned about the opening and ending credits of the movie use virtualdub to cut the front and back end to make it fit on the disc. Just make sure to set it to direct stream copy.

Here's some help on how to use virtualdub to cut your avi.

If you remuxed from AVI into MKV then the filesize should decrease as it requires less overhead. That combined with a bit of overburning or credit chopping it should easily fit.

Although if you are planning on using on a standalone then that won't be much help.

Have you actually tried burning it to a CDR yet ? AVI's reported by Windows Exporer as 714,000 Kb will write no probs to an 80min CDR.

Doh!

hehe I opened a new iso compilation in nero, put in it the 715 Mb file, and it's not too big for 80 min!

But I do have another movie that is 815 Mb...

tanx everyone!

714,000 KB is only 697MB's which of course is under 700MB's and therefor will fit fine onto an 80min CDR.

715MB's on the otherhand would only fit if you overburnt.
