you will probably need a DVD+/-RW drive and DVD discs and make the film into
DVD format, to make it work properly. You might be able to find some
affordable DVD+/-RW drives at http://www.tigerdirect.com

Hi rick,

The fastest my car will go is 150kph, but I want to go 200kph - make my car
go faster.

This is essentially what you are asking, it's something that cannot be done
with things "as is". The film would have to be re-encoded in a format that
will fit on the CDRW, just like my car would need to be refit with a motor
and transmission that will go faster. To do that, you would need access to
the original media, something that I don't think you will have since you
downloaded the flick in the first place. Your solution for saving files of
this nature would be to purchase a DVD writer and appropriate software.

Another option is less recomended then you have been offered is to arcive
your film in any format (ZIP, RAR, exc') and then it may be small enoght to
fit on this disk as data disk and not as movie disk.

The big disatvantage is that every time that you'd like to view this movie,
you will have to extract it from the arcive to your hard drive and then play
it.
But it will save you some money going and bying DVD/Rw or it may save your
the quallity of the film if you're thinking of reducing the quallity.
