On cdr you can create

1. VCD which holds about 60 mins at half the quality of DVD

2. SVCD which holds about 20 mins at 2/3 the quality of DVD, about the same quality as VHS

3. Mini DVD. same quality of DVD, approx 15 mins of video, but only playable on PC's etc.

Only the first two formats can be played on a stand alone DVD player. Even then not all DVD players will play VCD or SVCD but most modern ones should.

Roxio EZCD 6 or Pinnacle studio can create such CD's

Hope this answers your question
