[MPlayer-users] Fitting a big file on a 700mb cd with mencoder?

[khurram]

Yes, thats more clear Wanderer.  Thx.

I went all the way back to -ss 4000, and it spit out a file that works  
with mplayer (not with xine for some reason).  Its some part of the movie,  
in the end somewhere.  So i kept going back until i hit ss value of 500,  
but then i get a file in the size of 900+mb's.  Whats the point then?  I  
mean the whole reason for this was that i wanted to shrink the 1.4gb file  
and fit it on a cd or cd's somehow.

As for avidemux, yes, i tried that too.  Way too slow, takes around 4hrs  
time of what ffmpeg can do in 40mins.

Oh, btw, i tried that script again.  Whats funny is that i am not getting  
any artifacts or problems if i playback the movie with mplayer.  If i use  
xine, the artifacts return.  Strange..
