Virtual Dub Output File Size (~30GB) [solved]!!

[shwetanshu]

I tried to convert a 700 MB VCD into avi using Virtual Dub, but the output file was ~30GB in size!!! How to decrease the size???

 

[wORm]

You probably converting it into uncompressed avi, use a free mpeg4 codec like xvid and convert to that in full processing mode.

[Huzefa]

Use a codec like DIVx , Its available on digit CD or DVD 's

Follow what worm has to say, select the audio and video compression and configure according to file size you require. And then hit save as avi.

Probably You didn't use any compression codecs and let the Video to remain at Uncompressed.Use an Xvid compression codec for video and Mpeg Layer 3 128Kbps or AC3 5.1 codec for Audio compression.That must do the trick.

@bala4digit:Try this *www.aoamedia.com/Convert_DAT_to_AVI.htm
OR *www.videohelp.com/avi2divx.htm

Technically It is enough but how to use it in virtual Dub is the point.In Virtual Dub first head out to Video Option and then hit compression and later select the appropriate codec from the List.After this when you save it as .avi file only then will the compression be proper.

 

[shwetanshu]
