Making an MPEG play on a DVD player

You will have to convert the mpeg files to the mpeg-1 standard (325 x
240 at 29,9 frames per second) and then burn Video CDs or - to get a
better quality - mpeg-2 format (480 x 480) to make Super-Video-CDs.
A standard 650 MD CD-R takes about 50 minutes of video in
Super-Video-CD (SVCD) and about 70 minutes in Video-CD (VCD) format.

The best tool I know to convert the mpeg source files is TMPGENC, available at
( http://www.tmpgenc.net/e_main2.html )

Splitting, compressing video (.DAT) file

I shot a video in mini DV of 15 minutes duration and got it converted
to Video CD format by a third party for a small fee. The resulting
file is a DAT file of 150 MB that can be played on Windows Media
Player or home Video CD player. (The home video CD is popular in Asia
but not the US.) I need to email this file but could not compress this
file much. I tried ZIP and ALZip. I use WindowsXP.

Unfortunately, compressing VCD video will not save you much in
overhead relative to your 150mb file size, and the medium through
which you are considering sending the file (e-mail). Most e-mail
providers do not allow individual messages of over 2mb (hotmail) to
about 10mb (many local ISPs). On top of this, a total mailbox quota of
~50-~100 mbs is normal as well. Make sure that your recipient is able
to receive this much information no matter how split it is before you
send off the e-mails, or you'll just waste your time uploading.

As an example I took a 34mb VCD capable MPG (same as the .dat file in
the video subdirectory of the VCD) to get an estimate of how a
compression tool would benefit. What I found is that compressing the
mpg file with WinRAR (free for evaluation use, and capable of making
self-extracting multipart archives) only yields a ~10% (4mb) decrease
in filesize, which can be applied to a ~15mb decrease in filesize for
your VCD. This may seem like a bit better, until you realize that it
still doesn't help you overcome the transfer hurdles I mentioned
before. WinRAR (www.rarsoft.com) has a simple multispan option on the
add to archive dialog box called "Split to volumes, bytes" which
allows you to type in a number such as 2000000 (2mb) so that you can
make roughly 75 parts able to be filtered through to your friend, or
roughly 15 parts if his ISP is more lenient with large e-mail
attachments. They have great documentation by pressing F1 (or going to
the help menu) which walks you through multispanning.

My next and best suggestion would be to forego the e-mail AND
compression/spanning procedure and instead organize a set time for you
and the recipient. Most if not all instant messanger programs offer
direct file transfer options built in (such as AIM, MSN Messenger,
Yahoo Messenger, ICQ, etc.), and this 1-to-1 transfer ensures that no
parts of a multispan get lost in the transfer and that the most
efficient use of bandwidth is achieved (you send as fast as they can
receive, and neither your mail server nor theirs will retain a copy
even temporarily, possibly violating any disk quotas either of you
might have. It's relatively fast, it will take you approximately 25
minutes transferring at 100kb/sec (speeds not uncommon for
Cable/DSL/T1 line speeds) and if worse comes to worst, it will take
about 6 and a half hours if he (or you, or both) are on 56k modem. All
of these instant messenger programs support resumable transfers, so
it's not lost time if something goes awry with the transfer halfway
through. That's just another option to think about.

Let me know what your options are after speaking to the other party,
and I'll work with you further on selecting the best method.
