OR use something like Virtualdub (freeware http://www.virtualdub.org/)- and split it onto 2 files and 2 DVD's .. ??
I would prefer this than lowering video quality to fit onto 1 DVD... |

How big is the file, and did your friend encode it?

A good reference is doom9.org and vcdhelp.com
They have some pretty good and detailed info and guides to do such tasks, as its not as trivial as it may seem. Recalculating bitrates Depends on current video codec used Screen resolution and framerate conversions to ensure DVD standards conformance. etc etc... Now - if your simply trying to 'archive' an AVI to free up HDD - don't make a 'video dvd' - and instead make a 'data dvd' - or even a 700MB data CD. |

Use ConvertXToDVD to encode the AVI to DVD. Or open it in VirtualDub, frameserve it to, for example, TMPGEnc, encode to MPEG-2 at a bitrate that would fit it on a 700 MB CD as SVCD compliant. Burn with Nero Lite Micro.
