I'm trying to convert a DivX file into MPEG2 by using TMPGenc. I've followed the guide on this site, but when I get to the bitrate setting window in the wizard, the duration of the movie has doubled and the file is more than double than what will fit onto a disc - 225% of a DVD-R.

I've converted this type of file before and not had any problems, but this one has me stumped!!

I've opened the file in AVIcodec and get the following information:

File : 700 MB (700 MB), duration: 1:47:49, type: AVI, 1 audio stream(s), quality: 43 %

Video : 601 MB, 780 Kbps, 23.976 fps, 576*320 (16:9), DIV3 = DivX v3 MPEG-4 (Low-Motion), Supported

Audio : 98 MB, 127 Kbps, 44100 Hz, 2 channels, 0x55 = MPEG Layer-3, Supported

Any help is much appreciated!!

cheers

Sounds to me like the audio is variable bitrate (which TMPGenc can't deal with). To fix this, use LAME as an external encoder. Advice on this can be found in this thread: http://www.videoeditingforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=751
