I have done quite a bit of video encoding ... infact I have done alot of video encoding! I used to do it for anime subbing. Wink

To answer your question it's 1 cd. Unless you want to change the resolution of the video greater which would lead into stretching the original video. There is no difference between MPG and AVI (Yes! None at all!). An avi can be encoded with a MPG codec, and a MPG can be encoded with all AVI codecs (DivX, Xvid, etc ...). So unless you are changing your video from 320x200 to 640x480. The size shouldn't change very much (depending also on your quality settings).

yeah.. so the end file was just under 3x it's original size. so whoever told me it would stay the same lied. at this, it would have taken me 3 Cds atleast.
