Burning a CD-R as BOTH Audio CD and Video CD?
As the topic says, is it possible to burn a CD-R as BOTH Audio CD and Video CD at the same time? By basic theory this is possible (Different tracks.) . But with the difference on the actual disc format specified makes me think this is impossible.
This is just a curiosity question that popped into my head. And I think I know the answer, however, it might be interesting if anyone really knows if this is possible.
Well, I already knew about that. However, I'm specifically asking for Video CD, not Data CD. In the idea you're suggested, simply cutting and pasting files in the CD's doesn't seem to work.
Basically what I want is to have a CD that is a pure video CD that plays in VCD players that is also Audio CD. Doesn't matter if audio data is in track 1 or later.

How To: Burn Music and Data on the Same Disc
http://www.maximumpc.com/article/How-To--Burn-Musi...
1. Choose Your Format
Your software might offer you several ways to combine audio and data on the same disc. The Mixed Mode and Pre-Gap methods, if they’re available, should be avoided. These methods put the data track ahead of the audio track, and older CD players may attempt to “play” the data track. The result is a horrible screech—only slightly less unpleasant than a dentist’s drill—that could damage your speakers.
Instead, choose CD Plus or CD Extra, which are the same thing. CD Extra writes the audio tracks first, and then writes the data last in a single track. Because it closes the audio portion of the disc (called a session) before it starts a new session to write the data tracks, your CD player, which cannot see beyond the first session of a disc won’t stumble into the data area.
Even if your disc-mastering software doesn’t support CD-Extra by name, you should be able to approximate it using session-at-once (SAO) recording. Just start a multi-session disc, record the audio tracks in the first session, close it, then write the data in a second session, making sure to finalize the disc after that (you’ll usually find that option on the last screen you see before you begin burning).

First, make sure if you have a CD burner or a DVD burner in your computer - by looking at the drive from the outside. If it says something like DVD recorder/burner then follow (1) below, else go to (2) Anyway, you basically need a software like Nero, which has the option to convert a movie and burn a CD or DVD (1) To burn a movie into a DVD, you choose (in Nero) to use the DVD option and choose to "Make your own movie", then it's simply choosing to import your AVI file and creating a DVD menu for it and putting an empty DVD-R in the drive, then burn it (2) To burn a movie into a CD, you will do the same but with the CD option selected, and you'll choose the SVCD (Super Video CD) option to get the movie become available on a CD-R Remember, putting a movie on a CD (as SVCD) means less quality! So try to get (or buy) a DVD burner if you don't have one, and you intend to do this often Good luck
