I'm trying to burn a movie from my computer onto a CD. I don't have the DVD license thingy so I can't burn it onto a DVD disc. However, the file is 98 minutes long and my CD-RW's that I am trying to use only hold 74 minutes. Is there any regular CD-RW disc out there that has 100 minutes or over?

74min CD discs are based off audio.

A dvd quality MPEG2 file will be 4x as large as a CD easily and higher if its encoded at very high quality.

Your only option to put a videofile on a CD is to create a VCD but you'll lose a lot of quality, or DIVX if you have a DIVX capable player, but thats unlikely cause there's only a few out there and they're not name brands.

I'm making a VCD. But once again, the movie is 97 minutes and the CD-RW only holds 100 minutes. I just want to make a VCD of Breakfast Club, cmon there's gotta be some high capacity CD-RW's out there!

digital video is MUCH larger than digital audio, especially at full frame 640x480. 97 minutes of video won't fit on a CD-R/W, period, unless it was compressed down from the 640x480 etc.

Ooh ooh, how might i go about compressing the file? I don't have the licensing software necessary to burn onto a dvd.
