Is there anyway to downmix a group of ac3 files totaling 360 mb to stereo 700 mb or less? I would like these files to fit on a single cd. When I use belight to downmix the total is over 1000 mb.

I assume that I can't do this and will have to split to 2 cd's but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Thanks

Depends on the length of the original file.
For example, with 128kbps bitrate, you can put more than 700 minutes on a single CD.
Thumb rule: less bitrate = more length

Use headac3he or belight to downmix.

Keep in mind, you can only fit 80mins on an 80min CD :p

I should have mentioned these had to be cd's to play in a regular cd player, not mp3 or similar.
I wasn't even thinking when I posted. It is about an hour and 40 minutes of music. I should have known it wasn't going to fit :o

Thanks
