is there any easier way to convert AVI to VCD format than this article?

http://www.videohelp.com/sefy/?id=divx2vcd.html

it was soo long...

Yes, however the first step (GSpot) is necessary to see if you have the proper codecs installed.

Just use tmpgenc. Refer to the guide below:

http://www.videohelp.com/tmpgenc.htm

Well thanks there...I got TMPGEnc but dunno got such function!

Well is it really they can convert any AVI format (eg DivX, XviD) to VCD format? (in .dat rite?). If my AVI file is ~700MB can it fit into a CD-R? or 2 CD-Rs?

Well, is this software, avi2vcd good? Looks simple, quality wise?
http://www.videohelp.com/sefy/?id=encoding12.html

Yes, and no. Yes, can convert almost any AVI format; no because an 80min CD can hold up to 80 minutes of VCD. So, if your source is longer than that, you have to cut it.

VCD specifications link

As for avi2vcd, I don't know. I don't use that program. Why don't you try it and compare with tmpgenc and other encoders?

DVD-rip that download from P2P.

U can convert them to MPEG easily without any problem even it with VBR audio that TMPGenc hate about.

The software I'm talking about is MainConcept MPEG Encoder.
Beside another alternative is
Boilsoft AVI to VCD SVCD DVD Converter

Sure, just drag n drop in Nero burning rom. Make sure the Nero have the desire plugins which is mp3 in this case.

but if i using Nero, the songs got dirty sound. The sound of "tik tik tik" which is not clean... i'm wondering if that there is other software to convert mp3 to audio cd format...

convert into wav, drag it to nero.. see what happen.

mp3 -> wav -> cda(Nero)

wah lau, 2 conversion!! aiyo...will the signal be degrade after so much of conversion??

how to convert to wav ler??

method 1:
- use CDex or dBpowerAMP Converter
- direct convert MP3 to WAV

method 2:
- use Winamp
- Option --> Preference --> Output plugins --> Nullsoft Disk Writer
- Configure --> Convert to format: PCM 44.1kHz, 16-bit stereo
- choose save location, open the MP3 file, covert process wil begin.

method 3:
- use Sound Forge or Adobe Audition.
- open MP3 file, save in PCM 44.1kHz, 16-bit stereo

Found this link, dunno how good it is since I don't deal with realmedia. There's a trial version, I don't know what are the limitations though. Try it out and let us all know.

Clone DVD or Copy DVD to VCD 5.0

found both of these programs in 1 installer cd...bought in LYP

go check it out!

I think there's no difference between wma and mp3 size.... wma smaller than mp3 is only hype.

It'll be smaller if you're using lower bitrate.

it's possible.
i use Advanced WMA Workshop to convert MP3 to WMA and vice versa.

or u can use musicmatch jukebox.
