I was wondering if i could burn an iDVD but on a CD-R...like i mean, its only like a few minutes..why waste a whole DVD-R when it can fit onto a CD-R?

Oh btw, does the superdrive write DVD+R? or is it just -R? How bout RAM?

dvd players can't play video files on a cd, but you could burn an avi or mpeg or whatever you want on a cd and play it in any computer, just not on a dvd player.

you could also try burning it as a vcd....those i think you may be able to play on some dvd players...not all are compatible though, i'm not sure, i've had bad luck when trying to do that.

Yeah, VCD is probably your best option, but there is no guarantee it will work on all DVD players, but then again neither are all DVDs.:rolleyes:
