wouldnt you need to put it onto a dvd any way for it too play on your dvd player?

No, VCD's can play in DVD plyers aswell :)

Don't compress.

Overburning would be the obvious answer. some help here gives you the idea

Not sue compressing to make it fit the CD would work as it would mean the DVD players etc. might not be able to read it at a guess.

Not done this myself, but im sure overburning is quite common place.

BTW I am assuming the CD you have is 750mb not 700 :)

You could try:

www.ebuyer.co.uk quickfind code: 63467

Imation CD-R 800mb 90 Minutes 52 Speed MTV Showbox 10 Pack

although I've never used them, your recorder might not like them and your player might not either. But you would - probably - get everything on one CD if it worked.

Note carefully: It says NINETY minutes above, not EIGHTY. 80 minutes is 700MB or 730MB if you talk in audio because audio is written as a continuous line, without bits to tell the computer what's where. That's where your other 30MB goes, I think...

I don't think you can compress DivX/MPEG4 any more than it already is, without getting the original discs and running through the whole process and specifying a lower quality.
