Hi guys!
i've followed this tutorial -> http://tiny.pl/6cks
on hard-encoding subtitles
to an avi file but,
thing is,
my ouput file now weights almost 22gig...
:eek:!

is there a way to tell VirtualDubMod
to ouput my avi filesize to 700mb?

:thanks:

You have to select a compression codec under Video/Compression. Then configure it for the desired bitrate.

What codec and bitrate did you use?

You don't have Direct Stream Copy set for the video, I hope.

You don't have Direct Stream Copy set for the video, I hope.

The "Video" -> "Compression" menu is disabled, if "Video" -> "Direct Stream Copy" is selected. Also in this mode the file cannot become bigger than the source file.
So I guess he somehow manged to use "Full Processing Mode" plus "Uncompressed (RGB)", although the screenshots say something different.

@eSkRo:
Also make sure you set "Audio" to "Full Processing Mode" and select a suitable compressor. But I doubt this is the problem here...

Try it with VirtualDub instead of VirtualDubMod.

Did you finish the encode, and it is 22GB ?

In the screenshot, you only encoded 33 frames. Often the projected final filesize is completely wrong until you've completed a larger percentage
