Either get a DVD burner, or make it a 2 parter.
:)
So one 700 MB file and 1 13? :( :D
are there credits on the movie. Try chopping useless footage off the ends. You can also overburn cd's by a bit. Just give me a minute and i will check how much
No, you find a dramatic scene that would make a good cliffhanger, and chop it there.Quote:

Overburning Tutorial
ok i take no responsability to what may happen because of this artical. Overburning may seriously damage your cd burner. It happens to work fine on my computer however i have heard stories of people frying thier cd burners. I don't think that thie will alot you 17 megs though.
wait i think i just thought of something
give me a minute
no wait, hmm no your best bet is to chop areas off of the end and beginning that are just credits
Go and by 800mb cd
No thanks :pQuote:

Since this is a topic about DVD and "back-ups". How do I "Back-up" a dvd then compress it to DivX?
you mean a movie?
if you do goto
there are a few things you should know though.
http://www.vcdhelp.com/dvdtovcd.htm
this will encode to VCD if you want SVCD in the last step just chose for a template NTSC SVCD instead of VCD. SVCD is higher quality but takes significantly longer to encode
I have become a regular customer at blockbuster for DVD's :D
For my file, there is black space above and below the actual content of the video to make it look letterbox. Obviously I don't need that stuff; how can I crop it out?
Man thats an awsome sight. Blockbuster here I come ;)
no i don't think so.
Erm, I take it back, it's really 4:3.Quote:

Copying Hackers as a test
it takes a really long time though if you are ripping it to any quality. I *ahem* have hackers
I just want to see if it works, then I go rent a dvd :)
we have a thing going at school the blockbuster pool. We all throw in a buck and go get a movie. Someone takes it home and rips it then everyone shares. The person who rips it rotates for every movie
I got something like that going, but its with a small group off friends, but instead of Movies, we rent PC Games :)
I have quite a few games. The thing is though i don't play them.
It says its going to take 9 hours :eek:
just reencode it at a lower bitrate :pQuote:

thats about right for a 700-1000MhzQuote:

How much MB will it take up?
well depends on the movie... the DVD discs contain anything from 4-7gb on them, expect to need more :p
I mean the finished Mp2
what bitrate did you set it at?
VBR or CB
well ripping to SVCD is a **** way of doing it, just rip to a DiVX format and work out the file size from the lenght ot the movie, and encode at the highest bitrate you can to get it onto a 700Mb CD....
Load DVD (NTSC).mcf to make divx?
no! that is if you want to rip it to DVD format :) that will be very large and take a very long time
Then how to make DivX?
if you want to goto divx skip th elast step with tmpgenc (that is if you want to goto (s)vcd. and go to http://www.vcdhelp.com/avi2divx.htm .You have to get a very nice program called virtual dub it is worth getting it works very nicely with divx
...just uploading a DVD(and VCD) to DIVX tutorial now
Thanks u two, I not going to Copy Hackers since I own it already plu sit will take long. But I will rent a movie tonight :)
here is a hint. You know how nero has that VCD and SVCD options. If you use those then it will run on most dvd players (well VCD will). Anyways if you have an 80 minute cd, you can drag and drop up to 800 mb of mpegs into nero and it will burn fine. If you are doing a dvd rip please PLEASE do not do a crime against humanity and put it on 1 disk the quality will suck. Put it on 2 disks and the quality will rule! but plan for 800 mb segments
I find the DivX codec is surprisingly useful; even with uncompressed audio 1 day and 19 hours is under 35gb :)
It's also a great way to tape stuff and put it onto CDs, I can't wait for the first "DivX ;-)" compliant VCD readers!
You can fit 10 half-hour shows of good quality DivX onto 1 CDR, once the commercials are stripped out.
i find multiple cds a pain in the arse... the quality is good enough... thou it would play almost like DVD on a TV (low res an all that) and DVD on a PC sucks like ball **** anywaysQuote:

plus, alot of DVD players that say they play (S)VCD dont usally play CDrs, it doesnt do this on mine either :(
80min CDs are 700mb .... 800Mb cds are the 90min ones... and not many CDrw drives can burn that high
uh Cam... 41 hours?!?! i know its only a 500Mhz your on but damn that is long... 35Gb where the hell did that come from ?!?! :confused:
Arg, it's going to take 45 minutes to compress with WinRAR. :(
what are you compressing DiVX?? duh!!! stupid... its fecking compressed anyway! ... you could try, and shave a few Mb off... not worth the time
well actually just because you can't fit 800 mb on a cdr doesn't mean you can't fit 800mb on. When you drag an mpeg file into the nero pane it has a status bar there for a minute or so. what it is doing there is compressing it into s(vcd) if you have an 800mb
s(vcd) file then that will turn out to be 700 filling the CD. compressing divx is like trying to rar a rar file
just get virtual dub and reencode it into a lower bitrate. It will take like 10 - 15 minutes
Yeah, but all I need is a few MB.Quote:

Gandalf_Grey: yea but SVCD sucks hell man!
yea well after Nero it isnt 800mb is it?! so it doesnt mean you can fit 800 on a 700mb cd duhQuote:
because you can't fit 800 mb on a cdr doesn't mean you can't fit 800mb on
when i say a few... i mean 3-4mbQuote:

I know i like vcd better because of a smaller file size with little reduction in quality. however SVCD remains a popular formatQuote:
yea but SVCD sucks hell man
Yeah, I only lost 8 MB. :(Quote:

just reencode to a lower bitrate
The file is 1:27:59 (h:m:s, or 5279 by my calculation). What's the maximum bitrate I can use to squeeze it to just under 700 MB?
on that length a bitrate of 1000 kilobits per second would give you a file size of 660 mb. 1060 would fill 700 mb exactly although i don't recomend cutting it that close. Go for around 1030 which would give you a size of about 680 mb.
Encoding at 1030 kbps now :)
it shouldn't take very long its not like you are going to SVCD or anything
1:45, but I'm doing other stuff so I set the priority to low.
Is there a program to make DivX into VCDs that doesnt take hours?
use the wizard in Nero to do that for you :)Quote:

great thanks :)
35gb = the space left on my new fast hard drive
Encoder = VirtualDub :)
Bitrate = 430kbits/s
Quality = good enough for me :P
^
The only reason the quality is that low is because it's from plain analog NTSC TV, not that much quality to begin with!
