Spanning CD-R's

Does anybody know of a way to copy a file to a CD-R that is to large for just one. I have a movie that I want to be able to watch on my DVD player (as a video cd), but it's going to take at least 3 CD's. I know there is a way, I'm just not sure how yet. Thanks

I would say...

1) Using Adobe Premier, break up the .mpg into 650-700MB chunks. Burn each one onto a CDR.

2) Compress the hell out of it and receive poor video quality...one one CDR.

3) Purchase a DVD burner for $400.
