You candownload a winzip trail here if you don't have it.
http://www.winzip.com/downwzeval.htm CD's hold about 700 MB you can compress a larger file by using winzip to copy it as a .zip file, but if it to big to compress as a 700 Meg zip file you need a file splitting software, you can get them here, but be sure your always working with a copy of the original. http://www.nonags.com/nonags/filesplit.html |

Then you will most likely need to split it with winzip and put it on 2 disks. What kind of file is it? Some types of files compress more than others.

An MPEG file is already compressed using the MPEG codec. There's litle WinZip or WinRAR will do to make it smaller. You can try to re-encode the file at a lower bitrate, to just split the file using WinZip or WinRAR and burn it to two CD-Rs. You'll also need WinZip or WinRAR on the destination computer to re-join the file.
