    Hi

    I've been burning video files on my laptop for quite a while.
    There shouldn't be a problem. I have tried burning two 700mb video files to a cdr and both times I have been told the file is too big at 734mb.
    It isn't at 734mb, and I don't know what is going on.

    This has only recently happened and an auto update of vista was ran recently so I think it may have something to do with this.

    Has anyone else been reporting such problems or is it just me?

    have you tried a system restore to before that update? can only put 1 700meg file onto a cd, not 2 700megs.

    It depends on the format of the file and the type of burn.
    Are you burning as data or are you creating a vcd.

    The devil is in the details.

    yup.. but even a svcd will only hold 800mb .. no way to put 1400 on a nominal 700 disk.

    I'm trying to burn it via the burn button at the top toolbar (in windows explorer) in vista as I have done many times before.

    The file is 700mb avi file.

    I haven't tried restoring vista as it seems a bit extreme.

    I am burning as data.

    A vista update wouldn't affect this negatively would it?

    As a data disc? You certainly can do it with ImgBurn...
