I have a movie that I want to burn to a CD, but it is 703mb so won't fit onto the disc. What can I do about this? Is there any easy way to chop off the credits or something so it will fit?

1) Buy an 800mb disk.

2) Compress it

1) I don't have any right now, and theres a chance they might not be compatible with my drive anyway.

2) How can I easily compress it?

I'm not going to buy a DVDRW drive just to burn one movie. I can't afford one anyway. Thats why I'm burning films to CDRs.

.avi DivX encoded. I don' think I can make VCDs with my burning software, will that make a difference though?

There are a few minutes of credits at the end that I could just remove and then it would fit fine, does anyone know of any programs that will let me do this without losing any quality?

Buy the movie, you've thrown away like 4 suggestions.

Just use Winrar and you'll be fine.

whoever made that divx is a dumbass, he could have just tuned down the quality like 50kbps so it fits on 1 disc, but he's a dumbass, so anyways, just use winrar and split it into 2 archives.
