1>x<4 CD's...

[Thommers]

I know how to make a movie fit on one CD. I also know how to know how make a movie fit on 3 or 4 CD's by default.

But what if I decide I want to put a movie on 2 CD's, or some other number of CD's?

How do I go about doing that?

What programs do I need?

Thanks for the help.

You need a bit rate calculator, is all.

But, I still don't get how that helps me create 2 CD's instead of one...

I use this bitrate calc, found in the tools section. Just enter movie length(1), what CD-R size you use (2), How many CD's you want to use (3), what audio bitrate you're gonna use (4), and you get what bitrate to use for video (5).
If you're doing VBR, then use this bitrate as the average bitrate value.
Not to stretch matters, I usually go about 5% below what this calc recommends to give me a little room when I select the split points.
