Compressing m1v (SVCD) format?

[SerraYX]

I have a bunch of Family Guy seasons on my computer, the problem is the person who created them left them in 200-300mb m1v (SVCD) format. I'd like to compress a bunch of them and place them on a DVD-RAM. Is there any way to convert them to a smaller format without taking 20 days?

Gee thanks for the advice guy. Let the mods handle wrong forum issues.

And anyway it involves general computing and media knowledge, not software.

m1v=mpeg 1 video which is VCD, not SVCD... (SVCD is mpeg 2)

Anyways, install the divx codec, and use VirtualDub to encode them to avi. (using divx video and mp3 audio) Time it takes depends on your CPU... Check out doom9.org for guides.

Wow, Flask XMPEG 4.2 with DivX 5.01 does faster than real time with acceptable file size and quality. Rock

Thanks SpiceDaddy. Doom9 needs to update their guide and switch to XMPEG 4.2 instead of Flask's 0.6a
