Avi to svcd size for size?

[stuartie]

Hi all

A grandad with L Plates here. First conversion!!
I've got an AVI movie on 2 cdz -48 mins and 73 mins each. When I convert them to SVCD will I need to split them?
Is there a table which I can use that shows you sizes and where to split etc so that the max capacity of the disc is being used??

Hello, and welcome to the forum:

This is the AVI2SVCD Guide and is what you're looking for. Take your time, walk through the steps, and you should be OK. I've heard of grandchildren, but what the heck are L Plates? ;) Good luck.

hi and also welcome to the forum,

merge the two avi files into one if it is possible, then feed it to AVI2SVCD... it will split the file for you automatically (:(and also do all the rest of the work except burning to CD) :D

PS: also interested what you are meaning with L plates :confused:

One possible guess, a UK-only term, apparently:

L plates n :
learner plate, large white sign with big red letter L attached to rear (and front) of student driver’s car.

I found it at http://cgi.peak.org/~jeremy/retort.cgi?British=L%20plates. For additional info, see www.l-plates.net.

thanks for the help guys - sorry about the L plates thing! didn't realise the site was 'across the pond'(US of A that is.)

you don't have to be sorry :D
oh and the site isn't across the pond! it is by far the most international site i know. members are truyl from all over the world. just look at all the different doom9 mirrors and you'll realize how many different people with different native languages are involved here!
keep that in mind when you post :)
