Take a look at the links to your left. Look under Convert | TMPGenc. What you want to do is make a VCD or SVCD. You'll need some (free) software to do this. Links to the software can be found on the left too

Basically you take your source file (avi/mpg/qt/etc) and convert it to a MPEG-1 (VCD) or MPEG-2 (SVCD) file. Then burn the MPEG file to a CDR (using Nero or another CD burning program).

You can also make xVCD or xSVCD. These are MPEG-1/MPEG-2 files that are not in the 'white book standard' for VCD/SVCD. That is: higer bitrate, higher resoultion, higher/lower audio, etc. etc.

I would suggest reading all the links on the left (slow but good info) as well as doing a few searchs in the forum. Good luck.
