I have a movie split onto 4 seperate mpegs, each about 790 MB, and for some reason my burner doesn't support overburning. I know how to make these into avi's to save room, but I was wondering if there was any other way for me to shave about 100 MB off these without losing that much quality, I mean these movies are actual DVD quality and I really don't want to lose too much of that quality.

If you create a (S)VCD you can burn up to 800MB to a 80Min CD (without overburning!). Your MPEGs must be in VCD format though. Check Doom9's VCD&SVCD guides or http://www.vcdhelp.com/ for more.

Thanks for your help, I have one question though, with the guide here on SVCD/VCD, it says to use xmpeg and in the steps it tells me to select the video server, however I don't see that option with the xmpeg I have downloaded from this site(4.2). Is it something I have to download or what?

I guess I don't need a response to that last post of mine, I got ahold of Nero and I got the mpeg's to copy as SVCD's just fine, thanks again for your help
