Reducing and shrinking

[randywest]

I have a mpeg of, lets say 745 Mo. What can I do to reduce its size or shrink
it so it can enter on a CD of 700 Mo (I'm writing from Quebec, Canada and we don't have 800 Mo Cds) ? Let's say I want a size of 600 Mo or maybe 150 Mo? What can I do and which program do I have to use to do that?

options:

1)enable overburn on your cd burner (may screw up burner)
2) clip the video and beginning and end
3) cut the file into two
4) reencode the video to fit 600 or whatever mg

you can fit an 800MB MPEG on a 700MB CD without overburning.

you can fit an 800MB MPEG on a 700MB CD without overburning.

That's if you're burning it as a vcd or svcd which use mode 2 burning (no error correction).

If you're just burning it as a data disc then it's 700 MB on an 80 min. CD max.

why not burn it as mode2? you can still copy it off the CD.
