Saving as DV AVI

Hi everyone

I'm a little confused
I was wanting to create a VCD with movies I had made accessible via a menu
system (like special features on a DVD you hire or what Ulead DVD Picture
Show 2 produces)


When I save from MM2 as a Windows Video Audio File, well the new photo story
wont accept the video files & allow me to add them.

Some kind person in this newsgroup suggested I save a DV AVI, which I assume
will work- (if I use Ulead DVD Picture Show 2) - Anyway - the problem is
this : Each minute of DV AVI is something like 178 megs - so how could I fit
anymore than say 3 to 4 mins on a CD even if this process is to work?

I assume there is a very easy work around that I'm just not picking up on.

Any help you can offer will be very, very appreciated.

Have a good day :-)
 
Your VCD/DVD authoring software (Ulead DVD Picture Show 2, in your case)
will compress the AVI file to MPEG-1 (for VCD) or MPEG-2 (for DVD) when it
creates the disk. MPEG files are roughly the same as WMV in that both are
compressed video, AVI is not compressed which is why it is so large.

difference.

This newsgroup is for Windows MovieMaker, which doesn't create VCDs (or DVDs
for that matter).
