Use two CDs or overburn, but overburning can cause damage.
If you're trying to overburn with a god damn floppy disk, yeah.

New Really Good CD-RW drive = $100 aprox
New Really Good DVD-RW drive = $300 aprox
Which makes more sense when trying to get your dad to pay for it? Yes, that's right, the cheaper one. Even though I've gotten him to buy me a SB Audigy, I thought the burnner would be a better investment than another 60gig HDD, more useful over all and stuff because my dad's gonna make me burn him CD's....
Overburn: you can get a little extre space on a disc, probably 15-20 megs if you push it... However, doing this is not covered under an type of warranty, and it can possibly fuxxor your drive if you ask too much of it. (like OC'ing your proc, only not...)
WinRAR: Compression format better than ZIP, try and see how much of a difference it makes...
i'm out of ideas...
No, Really. Bite me.
just what are ya trying to put on there?

An .avi file. I don't think I'll be able to get it compressed that much. Oh well.
Nope.
Compression works by taking all the data in a file that is the SAME, and replacing it with a single(or a few) character to cut down on filesize. Then that character(or set) is defined in the file so that when it is decompressed, the utility knows what data to replace the special characters with.
Thus, file types with completely dynamic data, like audio and video files, don't compress very well.
BUT, with WinRAR, you can seperate the file into multiple parts, so that you can burn it onto multiple CDs.
