Help on SVCD 2 DVDr (also posted in development)

[DJuan.Houston]

I have searched and not found info on what I am trying to do and that more than likely means I just over looked it so here goes.

I have recorded .avi files that are 400 mb and up which is to big to make an SVCD on a CDr but will burn as a dvd; however, my problem is as I get up a little larger they wont even fit on a DVDr (like a 700mb .avi wants to build a 7gb dvd). Im looking for help on how to make SVCD burn on a DVDr (700mb avi builds to a 1.2gb dvd) or info on another way to burn it to my disk. I have Roxio 6 and I'm looking at nero 6 but most programs say for SVCD to a DVDr not a cd disk or something close to that.

thanks for any help or redirection to the proper forum,
DJuan :mad:

hi and welcome to the forum

first off, please do not crosspost... pls check out the forum rules (http://forum.doom9.org/forum-rules.htm) one more time and familiarize yourself with them!

then, please could you specify a bit more clearly what you want to do? what are those avis? are they already compressed with an mpeg4 codec (like xvid or divx)? what programs are you using for your conversion? (i hope not the built in converter in roxio?!)

anyway, i'd suggest you take a look at DVD2SVCD which is also capable of doing AVI2SVCD and AVI2DVD conversions!
the 'format conversion' section of the doom9 guides is your place to go look for answers!

sorry this was my first post anywhere other than Focus SVT sites.

and thanks I didnt know it could do avi2dvd also and yes I have taken video camera and comp. with divx5

well just another short note:
generally it is more desireable to work with the least compressed material possible. so if you have any chance to make the DVD directly from the captured / transferred avi it would result in a way better quality!
