What Type Of Movies Can I...

[kaydeecaine]

Could anyone tell me what type of video files I can burn onto cd-rw please?

anything you want...as long as they fit

Any file that is VCD ready, which has an extension of .mpg. If u need more info on VCD's or how to make one there are great guides here: DVDRHELP

what about divx?

Yes, as 3rd gen noob said "as long as they fit" but in order to watch on a DVD player then u have to do what I said in my previous post.

you'll need to convert them to a format your dvd player can read...i.e. vcd (or a variant)

Or you can burn the DivX as a data file, but you'd need to watch it on the PC

So lets say I use Nero and burn a divx file onto cd-r as a data file.
That should work then?

Are there cd-r's that that can store more than 700mb?

common advice would be to use software such as tmpgenc to convert the avi file into a vcd first, then burn onto cd...the inbuilt convertor in nero is pretty poor

you can buy 800MB cd-r's, however, unless you use kvcd you'll probably need 2 cd-r's for one full length avi file (when converted to vcd)
