I've got AVIs that I need to copy to CD-RW and then play in my DVD player.
I've translated the AVIs into MPEG-1 (thus saving space), but everytime I
use the Windows XP standard copying wizard it doesn't burn the MPGs. The
size of the file is about 600mb, which should easily fit onto a blank CD-RW
(capacity about 700mb).

a) Is there a better way to copy the files?
b) Should I have converted the AVI's into MPG-2 files? But then would this
have made any difference? And how do I do this? There are plenty of freeware
program to convert to MPG1, but none for mpg2

Would welcome any help

Peter
