If you are giong to pack them up, use WINRAR as its better... and there should be some AVI/Mpeg splitting tools out there. Try doing a search on google or maybe someone could post what they use. good luck :rolleyes:

If u burn them on cd of 700 Mb u must close th cd in the end & only the movie file will fit in !!!
its what i do, & its working !!!

try the option of overburning on your burning program... I dont know if this works well because i haven't tried it but i've heard that it works for others....... so hopefully someone with experience in this can help you, i mean really help you :P :rolleyes:

its with nero in the end of burn u can leve the cd open to add more data or close it so no more data will be write in the futer to this disk !!!
in 1 stap : Try to burn this file like u burn any file in nero on a 700 Mb cd & nero will guide u !!!
ok

it wont even start burning its say too large to burn???

[wonderboy2005]

when you put a large amount of data on a CD, for example 703mb on a 700mb cd, it will tell u in nero that in order to burn the cd, you will need to finalize the cd. im sure you won't be able to burn that big of a file without overburn tho.

IF you want to use overburn, i suggest you really think about it. it can wreak havoc on your burner, and a lot of the time, you'll end up with a coaster. with that being said, here is a link explaining how to overburn.

note: the guide is set up for 90 min, but i calculated it out, and you should only need 86 min to burn the file.

here's the link:

A DivX movie already is compressed very much.

Compressing a movie with WinRAR or similar program won't reduce the size much.


1) Cut off the credits
2) Overburn (if possible)
3) Use cd-r with bigger capacity


There are plenty of topics about the above three options already.
