MPEG to AVI Makes Huge AVI File?

I was trying make 2 mpeg-1(converted them into 1 mpeg-1) files that I did along time ago into avi's to convert them into kvcd, but it turns them into 50gb avi's. I was using TMPGenc to do this..I loaded the mpeg as source..then output to avi, selected huffyuv as video codec and pcm as audio codec. Did I not do something right?

You do it right. You're movie seems to be too complex for the codec. Generally I have a file that is 8Gb per hour or movie.

BTW, Rendalunit just informed us that there is no need to use such trick anymore : avs2.5.3 as an improved Directshowsource taht handle very well MPEG1 as soon as you kill the audio.
(be carrefull : I means 1 hour of movie in VCD resolution. Is that what you have ?)

So just use :

Code:

a=Direcshowsource("movieone.mpg").killaudio()
b=Direcshowsource("movieone.mpg").killaudio()

a++b

Yep all VCD resolution. So where do I put the

Code:

a=Direcshowsource("movieone.mpg").killaudio() 
b=Direcshowsource("movieone.mpg").killaudio() 

a++b

In the script?

Same place you would have mpeg2source() or avisource()
