http://www.pricewatch.com lists some cdrs that are 730 mb in capacity.

there might be some larger discs available at a compusa if you have one near you.

Cut out some of the intro or end credits in the video with VirtualDub. If you cut by the keyframes, you will have no problem. I've cut down large AVIs by this method...it's great!

Make sure you set Audio>Direct Stream Copy, Video>Direct Stream Copy.

Or you could re-encode the audio (it's probably MP3) with a lower bitrate, if it's not already the lowest. This could save a couple of MBs.

I agree with the first post if you can't cut off the credits order some 90 min or 800 mb cd's if you can afford the plextor you can afford 90 min disks

Have fun

are there any external firewire drives that supports Nero overburn? i saw a QPS drive listed on the Nero site but the model # doesnt match the list of drives shown in the qps's website.

if you're burning a VCD/SVCD a 716 MB file will fit on a 74 minute disc. it will definitely fit on an 80 minute disc. no need for overburning at all. VCD/SVCD/AudioCD use Mode 2, which saves the bytes normally used for error correction of data files and uses them to put more a/v on the disc.

one easy way to chop file size a few MB is to demux the audio, re-encode it at a slighly lower bitrate, and then remux it back together with the original video. you could easily cut more than 20 megs with minimal quality loss if you're burning an AVI to a data CD.
