Hi
I generally download movies using torrents and i just back them up in my external HDD after watching. I'm thinking of storing some of them on a CD so that i watch them using my DVD player on TV. So can someone guide me as to how should I convert an AVI file for example, around 700 MB in size so that it can be stored in a 700 MB CD (or two) and played using a VCD/DVD player.

I googled and found this tutorial http://www.divx-digest.com/articles/avi2vcd.html and I wanted to know what are the other alternatives available. I haven't tried implementing the steps mentioned in the tutorial :p, but I do want your opinions on the said tutorial and also other alternatives (which maybe simpler or may give a better quality VCD) .

Thanks & regards

k9, VCD video is hideous, MPEG-1 is sooo old. Better to use MPEG-2 and to save space convert to Half-D1 which is 352 x 576 in PAL. See the available DVD standards here:
