    I understand that Nero allows you to somehow compress an 700 MB+ .avi file (as a data cd). My question is, is there any drawbacks to this? Does the image quality get reduced? or does the .avi get shorter lengthwise? Thanks

    No - to all of your questions.

    You can try overburning 715mb though.

    Maybe you got confused. An AVI file is just a file. If it is larger than 702 MB you cannot burn it on a 80 min CD (except overbutning, of course).

    In the README1ST we talk about DISC IMAGES (.ISO, .BIN, .IMG, .NRG etc) that are strange kind of files that look bigger than they are.

    Your case do not belong to one of those about mentioned. It is just a big file. Split the file into two parts with a proper application or lower its quality.

    Or you might (ha! ha! ha!) burn it on a DVD...

    Neromania, maybe you got confused about size of file too ? I mean that, if you download on kazaa a file that is listed as "715 283 KB" you can still burn it on a 700 MB cd-r. Basically, 1 MB = 1024 KB, so your "715 283 KB" (that a beginner will think is "715 MB") is in fact only 715283 / 1024 = 698.5 MB.
