i've ripped a dvd i bought onto my computer and i want to put it compress it so that it is around 700-1000 mb. the dvd iso file is roughly 3.5gb at this moment, but im using TMPGEnc to encode it into an .avi file.

i need to know what kind of settings to encode with and what kind of codec to use. right now im trying mpeg-4 XviD codec at 25 fps and 720x480 size. the audio is uncompressed PCM.

i think the video is fine at the moment, (tell me if it's not) but the audio im not sure what to use. any suggestions / methods to do this?

MP3 will work fine.

MP3 at 128kb/s 2 ch.

My advice is to run the video through AutoGK- it's the easiest and best compressor I've ever used. You can set the audio kbs, and then set the file size to 700mb and it will automatically chose the other right settings. Click here for the program on Videohelp.

ok thanks for the tip. after i tried encoding that video file with XviD codec it was around 1.3 GB but the quality was HORRIBLE! i don't know what happened...but i'll give auto gk a try now. if anyone could tell me what was wrong with my first attempt please let me know.
