How do I burn a large mpeg file onto a CD?
Cleaning up my hard drive, and I have a relatively large mpeg file (roughly 703-720 mb). Only problem is, CD's only hold 700 mb max.

Any way to successfully burn this without creating a bunch of coasters?

I use Roxio Easy CD creator.

1. You may wantr to lower the bit rate of the file, that may help.
That may shave some megs off the file size.

2. Not sure how to do it in roxio...
but some software will let you "overburn" a cd, the problem is you never know if it will work until you've done it, so there is a risk of making a few coasters before you find a blank that will take 720mb... It's pretty easy to do in Nero, but I'm not sure about easy cd creator...
