avi to video cd??

[soulja]

can u burn a .avi to video cd or super video cd or do u always have to convert to .mpg format?

[Telexen]

Nero will do the conversion for you right before it burns it

[soulja]

does it take a long time same as doing it on ur own?

[Telexen]

Depends on the video size...but it doesn't take long at all...it does the same thing as another program would do, so there's no sense in converting it manually

[soulja]

o, so it would take 10hours ? cause that what others do for a 716mb file

[Telexen]

...it takes me a few minutes

it would take 10 hours to completely re-encode it

[soulja]

how does it take u only a few minutes, doesn't it have to re-encode it ?

[Telexen]

It has to convert..not re-encode

[soulja]

o ok. but would the picture look bad?

Personally, I don't like nero doing anything else but burning (probably a throwback to when buffer underruns were more of a problem).

I put the first 2 seasons of Alias on VCDs and I used TMPG Enc to encode, then Nero to burn.

hope this helps
