    Hi I'm new here but I really hope some one can help me. I have several video files on my computer which I downloaded off of the internet and I was really hoping someone could help me get these files off of my HD and onto a CD. I will give one example and the others are very similiar.

    This file is an .mpg file. Video 352 X 240, Audio 44.1 kHz, 16 bps stereo, 74:08 minutes, 739 MEGs.

    I have tried every way I can think of to burn this file onto a CD and every time I try I get a message saying not enough room on the CD. My cd's are 700 MB, 80 Minute CD-R's.

    Now if I need to downgrade the video's to a lower quality format that is OK as long as I don't loose too much quality.

    My CD writer is an HP 9100 series writer. 32x8x4 I believe. I have EZ-CD creator 5.0 plus alot of other burning software but I am willing to download anything necessary to get this file onto a CD.

    I know there are alot of experts on this site so any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thank-you for your time.

    Hi.

    I'm not an expert in fact im fairly new to this game myself. Apparently you can "Overburn" your CDs which i think writes over the 'lead in' and 'lead out' sections. I know if you attempt to write over the limit using nero it asks if you want to attempt to overburn the disc. Try nero @ www.ahead.de

    Those look like VCD videos, MPEG compressed. Author them to to a VCD disc (in your CD-R software) and you can burn them, since mode-2 discs (such as VCDs) don't error correction coding they will fit in nicely.

    For VCD quesitons -> proceed to the SVCD/VCD forum

    cd-rw.org thank you very much. I thought I had tried burning as vcd's before and I'm sure I had, but after reading your response I tried it again using NERO and it worked perfectly.

    Thanks again.
