I have a movie I want to burn as VCD (or SVCD..) as I do not have a DVD burner. However, the movie is in 2 files... one for each CD (each file is roughly 700mb...). Is this the only option -- to burn on to multiple CDs? It doesn't make sense to me... to go ahead and watch it on my dvd player, and halfway through have to stop the movie to change the CD...?

to have good quality don't go beyond 80 minutes for vcd and 50 minutes for svcd per disk. if a movie is over 200 minutes it will be more than 4 disks as a svcd. that's the way it works. some people will debate that the minutes should be even less, but this works well for me. you can make a kvcd that will probably go 6 hrs but quality generally deteriorates bad. real bad.

having said that, converting to vob files and burning on dvdr's is the only real way to do it. dvdr's are as cheap as cdr's these days and can be used to store any other data. 4.7GB vs 700MB, you do the math on savings when buying blank disks. most players play the dvd+r's but alot of players don't play vcd or svcd. it's a crapshoot on if they will play or not.
