I just downloaded a movie, but the file is 880mb size, also is an avi, xvid 480 x 352, audio is mpeg3, if im not wrong... i cant burn that file on a CD, why people create so big files??

Help me! what to do?? avi chopper? virtualdub? svcd conversion?

Most people LOOK at the file size BEFORE downloading depending wether their going to run it from the HD or burn it to CD. Its not like only one version of a movie is posted is it?

Think off it another way, if a file is split over 2 CD's that would be double the downloads (getting connections for both files) and then 2 CD's and the burning time, plus of course if a movie is compressed to <700MB the quality drops if the movie is above about 1hr 35min (less for SVCD).

Just be grateful for what you've got.....................you could always go out and buy the movie.............................of course if you tried doing it yourself (ripping and converting a DVD) your eyes might be opened to the amount of work/time involved................try it, it might solve your whingeing criticism.

I dont have a dvd burner. I use tmpgenc to encode to vcd. it has an option to encode sections of the video. I encode 78 minute sections and burn with nero.
