... The resulting "video" is 9-10gb in size and runs exactly 45 minutes. [it's actually 3 seperate files due to window filesize limitations] I'd like to "encode" it to something that would fit on a (v)cd -- is this something that k3b can do?
I don't know about k3b. The following two commands create a VCD: # vcdimager --iso-volume-label="MY_TEST_VCD" track1.mpg track2.mpg # cdrdao write --device 1,1,0 --speed 8 videocd.cue They are in packages vcdimager*.rpm and cdrdao*.rpm in SuSE 8.1. mencoder (MPlayer*.rpm) can convert AVI into MPEG. I collected this information for my colleague at work who wants to create SVCDs but I haven't had time to try it yet. There may be other alternatives I'm not aware of. Due to the large number of video codecs, file size limitations, and software bugs the VCD creation process is often not quite straightforward. I suggest you read some info on appropriate home pages (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/, http://www.vcdimager.org/) first. -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
