Ok first lets go ahead and get the basics ota the way.  VCD -750 mb, DVD - 4.7 gigs.

Now I have a series of shows that I downloaded (they\'re legal) and when I burn them to a VCD I can fit 3 of them onto one CD.  When I burn them to a dvd, I can fit 3.  I know the file types are different.  Mpeg\'s are large files.  But is their any way I can fit more onto a DVD without loosing to much quiality?

well thats cool, and i see how it works, it would make a VCD onto a dvd.  But the thing is, i havnt made the VCD\'s yet.  I have about 60 episodes of this show.  And I want to put them onto DVD\'s.  But I dont want to waste 20 dvd\'s, when it could take 20 cd\'s.  Id rather it only take 4 cd\'s.  

Thanks for your time and responding
