i am running xp pro,fully updated.I have a movie on my hd that 'properties'
say is an avi file. it is to large to fit on a cd(745 mb) and i do not have
a dvd writer in my machine. is there anyway to convert this movie to another
format so it will fit onto a cd.I would be very grateful for any help

Do a Google search on video compression and/or video converter - there
should be a pretty long list of programs.
