.avi on to a cd??

[g4ry13]

I have some films on my computer that i'd like to burn on to cd. Only problem is they're bigger than my 700mb cd; so i need a file-splitter. They need to be in video cd as well. Please could someone recommend a suitable program for this and any instructions. I also need a program to burn the films on to cd with, just to make that clear.

Appreciate the help.

Thanks Gary

Sorry for the late reply. I don't think i'll get 80 min CDs because i'd have to buy them when i get 74 minute CDs for free. What i meant was that i needed a program that ideally did the file-splitting for me and burnt it on to the CD. I have nero 5.5 and i also have NTI CD maker platinum 6. I was just wondering if there was anything better to use. I'll have a go tonight because i'm not near my home computer at the moment.

Thanks for the help.

Just out of interest how long does it take to encode a .avi into mpeg. The reason i ask is that i've tried it before on my computer and i just get really impatient with it and stop. Would you say an hour and 40 minutes is reasonable, i have no idea how long these things would take.

Appreciate any replies.

Thanks for the reply, i'm going to have a go later on in the week, probably the week-end. I have TMPEGenc but haven't had the patience to encode a whole film. I have a website with some good instructions for it. So thanks for the link.

My next problem is i have a film in divx format. It won't work with TMPEGenc and i understand that i have to encode the picture and the audio separately. Which sounds really complicated.

I'd appreciate any advice for programs to use for the divx.

Thanks

I get CDs for free. I've looked into DVD writers, but i don't think i can account for the cost of the drive and the discs, as i'm not going to be a really heavy user. Also most films are under 1gb on the internet, so it would be a waste of about 3gb on the DVD-r.

But out of interest if i did have a DVD drive what would the process for burning .avi be. Would it be a lot easier?

Thanks for the help.
