Solve : Burning a Large MPEG to a CD-RW ? ? ??

Answer»
HI there.

ive GOT this MPEG which is 720, 289 kb in size and i want to burn it onto a cd-rw to i can give it to a mate........

the only problem is , it doesnt fit on a cd-rw, as the cd-rw is only 700mb..........

can you get larger size cd-rws. like 750 or even 800 mb ?

i dont have a dvd burner so i can burn it to one of those.......

it can only go on a cdrw.......

what can i do ?


jasonYou will need to ZIP/compress it to fit on a CD. 700 is as big as they get.i did try Zipping it, but that DIDNT make much difference in the size ? it took of a little but not enough to still fit on the CD-RW If you zip to exe, Winzip and other programs will split it among multiple disks (never tried it with a CD though). Then when the other person gets it, it will reassemble it.

How do u zip to an EXE ?

The only options when i try to zip are ( add to zipp file. it doesnt say anything about zip to an EXE ? If you use WinZIP, ZIP the file, then double-click it and under Actions, select Make EXE.Split the file up with HJ Split. You can split the file into different sizes, I think the maximum is 10mb, but even then you can burn the files onto 2 blank cds give them both to your friend and then he can put them back together, pretty simple program.
