If you want to play back your video and audio files
on a CD-ROM drive (rather than a DVD or Blu-ray player), encode
the file in a format playable on computers. You create the encoded
file on your hard drive, and then burn it to recordable CD media
(known collectively as CD+/-R/RW). Use third-party CD-burning software and
a CD burner.
Encode your files so that they do not exceed the storage capacity
of the target CD: 650 MB or 700 MB. However, to ensure that your
files play back successfully, also encode them with the hardware
and software available to your audience in mind. Keep the file data
rate low enough to limit file size to CD capacity, but also to ensure
smooth playback on a range of systems. Also, set the data rate low enough
for any of your intended viewers who use older CD-ROM drives, or computers
with slower processors (CPUs).
