I have an avi file and when I convert to DVD using winavi converter the File is 6.4 Gig

Does anyone know of a program that will convert an Avi file to 4.3 Gig DVD size?

Please

Or if u have a DVD burner, it should have come with some kind of DVD burning program. Which should also work.

How big is this AVI file??

This is a specific tool to convert AVI/Divx/other and then write the disc to play on any standard DVD player (stand alone or PC), which I am fairly sure you are wanting to do.

Demo version has a watermark, I am sure you'll figure it out.

You can usually fit 2 700MB (AVI file size) movies (not pirated of course, that illegal!) on a DVD and it pops up a Text menu when inserted asking which one to play. No quality loss. Which is about 3 hours ish of play.

Dont ditch it, its great, and has no problems with 2-pass video's like NeroVision can...

You just need to specify that you want it to aim for 4300MB in the Advanced options, and it works every time :)

Whats the quality like with WinAVI any noticeable loss?

Also how long to re-encode say a 700MB file?

514594 2007-01-10 19:52:00 DVD Shrink can be used without it if the media you're copying is not copy-protected with CSS. Of course, because this is going to be the case, Im not going to need to mention you can use something like DVD Region + CSS Free to fix that issue ;)

Master_Frost: Of course there's *some* noticable artifacts and things on the screen, a little blocky from time-to-time... but certainly when I convert all the Family DVDs back from MP4 files (which Im quite picky about the quality) they're not too bad on TV!
Ive done 4 hours of high-movement video onto DVD with it before and still been happy with the result, so it is pretty good! WinAVI also encodes surprisingly fast too!
