Hi,
I recently just got on to divx , mpg, and all that stuff; i have little tidbits of facts about different unrelated things, but i have yet to peace them together to make sense yet; so here they are:
I downloaded a bunch of avi clips (as well as mpg clips) ; eventually i'd like to burn them as vcd so that i can view them on the vcd/dvd player; i needed t make room on my hd so i have only burned them to cd'rs as data so far; eventually i'd like to convert all the avi to mpg because mpg's are smoother to ff and rewind, plus i know it has to be mpg format before it gets burned to vcd.
1/ is it better to join the little avis together first and then convert to mpg or better the other way or no difference? ( i have mpg joiner, pecks power join, and tmpgenc to do the job); so far so good.....
2/ i know avi's are more compressed than mpg's so wheni convert to mpg, i should expect the file to be much bigger after conversion, but sometimes the resultant mpg is about the same size or sometimes even smaller!!!!?????!!!! i have alwys used the same settings all the time, so does this mean that there r diff. types of avi's? or am i going nuts??
3/ couple of times i convert the avis to mpgwith tmpgenc and the mpg file comes out with no sound????
4/ with having the mpg format as the ultimate desired format for me, i have a bunch of avis and mpgs that are way over 700 mB, so i need to cut them first; should i cut the avi's first before i convert? and which is the best prog to use for that?;i tried using avichop but when i loaded the file, it says the file is not avi; it's like , uh, yes it is an avi format.
5/ an unrelated question
i'd like to print the nfo files out to paper but the ascii art is all garbled; is there a way to print them and have them look as good as through the nfo reader? btw, i love the "damn nfo viewer"; real nice!
i know this is a lot of questions; whichever someone can help me out, i'd really appreciate that!!
Take care.
