See www.videohelp.com/vcd and you will see that you can only store 74/80 minutes video on a vcd. If you want to store more video make a "xvcd". What tools are you using now? You basicly just lower the video bitrate to fit more video /cd.

i relised this but it just sound like everyone else can fit the videos a movie under 80 mins that stinks.... and im useing winavi8 nero7 ashampoo2 and cucusoft.... howdo i do xvid will i be able to fit a longer movie on a 750mb cd? and also i tried the bitrae i even tried manually doing a sample i can compress them more ashampoo only compresses them by roughly 10 mb even at lowest possible qulity

Stop using crap software to begin with. Use AutoGK if you want to create Divx/Xvid avi files. Tell it how big you want the file to be, and it will do the rest. If you really want to do it properly, learn about bitrates, bitrate calculators, virtualdub etc. Then you can configure everything to the minutest detail.

But AutoGK does a damned good job without the worry, so I would start there.
