HI guys

I do a lot of travelling and I want to throw some of my favorite VCD titles in the Axim. However, all I can find is DVD converters -- where are all the VCD to avi coverters! (Not everyone has DVD-ROM you know!)

Please suggest some to me.

Thank for your help in advance.

Cheers
Victor

Aren't VCD files in MPEG2 format? Try renaming a chapter to an MPG and see if WMP will open it.

thanks howard, i shall check that later.

i have downloaded a software called VideoEdit Converter. playing with it right now but so far the converted avi files are BIGGER then originals! Yes that sucks.

keep trying...

Most 'converters' simply write uncompressed AVI -- that's why the files are so much bigger. Once you have those, then you can use VirtualDub to make a compressed one in your favorite AVI codec.

Thanks Talyn

I have downloaded VirtualDub1.5.4

Could you kindly tell me the basics like which codec should I chose and what buttons to press to start the compression please?
