    I can’t burn the avi onto a cd-r, it’s too big!

    • Depending on how big the final file is, you can cut the end off (end credits), cut the front off (opening credits), cut both credits off. As rough guide, end credits are worth about 50M, start credits about 30M.

     

    If the film is so big it will only fit onto two discs, then the instructions will also show the method for doing this, but not as a step-by-step, as I can’t be bothered. I’m sure you can work out that you cut the avi in the middle and save the avi as two halves (yea, you know that already). As a rule you are trying to get the file size down to no more than (using Windows File Manager as a viewer) ) 680M, this will fit onto a regular 74minute CD; 733M will fit 80minute- don’t ask!

    • Ok, start up Nandub (yes I know the screenshots show VirtualDub, but they are sooo similar it makes no difference) and load the avi file you created.


     

     

    • Jump to end of the avi...

     

    • Now start looking for “key frames”, working your way backwards –using the key button - until the you get to last scene after the film has finished, in other words the start of the end credits.

     

    • When you arrive at the scene, press the end marker button.

     

    • Now jump to the start of the film by pressing the button mark

        

    • You can now chop the front of the film by pressing the other “key marker” button to forward through the avi until you reach the desired point.
