I was able to run my large .AVI clip through Tmpgenc and Lame . The result was a very small or (compressed) .MPG file . However when I fired up my DVD authoring application ( Showbiz : the Win XP freebe) It still calculated .mpg source file as exceeding the 4.7 GB limit. It seems like the .mpg file still looked like a 24gb file to the DVD software.

Is this a limitation of the Showbiz DVD software or is there another step to get a two hour .avi file compressed to fit the 4.7 GB DVD

Thanks
