From Minutes to Megabytes

Hello. I have a file I'd like to place on a CD disk. Its a movie file that is 698 MB, under the 700 MB limit but the time to run is 127 minutes, 7 minutes over the 80 minute limit. Is there a way to convert or change the settings so that when I attempt to 'burn' this CD it accepts the Under 700 MB limit and doesnt refuse to burn it because its over the 80 Minute limit? I hope my question is worded clearly enough for responses. Any help at all is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Rick

You might check this out as to 90 minute CDR:

Although that is a wholesaler their compatibility scan might be useful.

Important! Not all CD Burner in the market is capable of recording over the 700MB CD recordable technological barrier, therefore we have provided the compatibility chart and frequently asked question below, please visit these pages if you have never burned a 90 minutes CD-R before. There are no returns or refunds if your system is not capable of recording over the 80 minutes barrier.

Of course another solution is just go to DVD.

With avirecomp you can reduce the size of yr file.(I presume its an AVI file)
