Are you looking for something that's free? Doesn't MS have MovieMaker or some video editing software hidden somewhere in XP? I heard it was awful, but you can't argue with the price.
Also, what file format is it? Maybe MovieMaker can save your file as a format with better compression.

| Adobe Premiere is widely regarded to be the best home PC-based Video editing software. You can get a 30-day trial from adobe.com. It is excellent. You may get more mileage from re-encoding the file using a different codec to get it down to <650M to fit on a single CD. I gather the Sorrenson codec is particularly efficient, and you should get this (free?) with Premiere. |

From the helpfile of my Ordix MPack:
Ordix Mpack is a program to join and split multiple files. It provides an intuitive and user-friendly interface for joining or splitting of files. Although you can use Ordix Mpack to combine any types of files you like, it is specifically designed to combine MPEG files.
Ordix Mpack Pro
Might be of use,

www.doom9.org - bunch of Video utilities mainly free or shareware also check out www.vcdhelp.com for other Video editing tips and software links.
What format is your video file in ? you might be able to DivX recompress it so it fits on one CD without chopping it. |

| Try a DivX recompress should be all the tools required for that at doom9 .. virtualdub is probably what you want to grab (think it splits as well actually) |

| actually avi can be compressed and still conform to the avi standard, hence Divx which is an Mpeg4 encoded wrapped around an AVI file format. |

You should make sure that the computer that you'd like to play the CD on can read the new format you re-save it under. I don't think the Sorenson codec is that common. I know that it's included with Apple's Quicktime Pro for recording, but I never see it among the available recording options when I use the free version of Quicktime on my other PC.
I think the same is true for Divx as well. I needed to install the appropriate software to be able to view Divx files.
