Heyo, i had absolutely no idea where in the hell to put this, so i decided here would probably be best, if any admin comes across this and this is in the wrong place, please excuse me and move it to where it's meant to be.
Anyway, my problem.
Recorded some of my Favourite TV shows, as movies being movies, they take up quite a bit of room, and me having a pitiful 10gb left, i decided to burn it onto discs and just archive them.
Problem there, the movie files are too large to actually fit onto the CD's and i'm just wondering what my options are lest getting a Movie editor and splitting up the 1/2 hour shows (which i really don't want to do).
The files are only about 80-100 megs over.
Just wondering about my options, thanks.

if your just going to store them you could try compressing the files using winzip or powerarchiver

Depending on the format you could try converting them to a different format with has better compression.
