If they are the same length, the MP4 mentioned will look better than the AVI but take more than twice as long to convert. It doesn't matter whether it is a 1500mb H.264 MP4 or a 700mb DivX/XviD AVI.

Note: The size of the file you want to put on a regular CD isn't as important as the length of the video. I've put together a Screen-by-Screen, Step-by-Step pictorial how-to after the jump. I will also be using ImgBurn (freeware) to actually burn the file to CD. Sorry, I won't be ditching my versions for their free predecessors to find out for you.

Specifically: TMPGEnc 4.0 Express and VCDEasy v.3.1.0, but you may be able to use their free versions, TMPGEnc v.2.524 available for download here and VCDEasy v.1.1.5.2 available here instead. Of the 3 DVD players in my home, none are DivX/XviD/AVI capable, but 2 of the 3 play these VCDs just fine with impressive results (the one that wont is a cheapie 'Philco DP100HH8').ДЄlso, in this guide we will use software that is not free.
