Should've said i had used k3b to try this but failed (that
that used vcimager).
think the process i used originally was devede to convert
file to videoCD
resulting mpeg file burnt to cd-r result was a good clean
burn.
have tried this again to no luck.
Will go to the link when i get home (at work at moment -
shhh).
thanks for the pointer nick.

bit different but same issue (AVI to video CD)
I converted the file from AVI to a Video CD and got it
on the CD size was 813Megs now i want to copy it but
haven't suceeded yet (tried disk copy, burning the
original think i have to shrink it first this is a
project i *must* do for wife).

IIRC video-cd does not have a regular file system on it,
so disk copy may not work. The reason you can get 813MB on
a video cd is because you aren't clogging up a great chunk
of the CD with an ISO filesystem's redundancies (which are
important for data integrity on regular files, but not
used on videoCD)
However google does assist with this page:
http://www.togaware.com/linux/survivor/Copy_Video.html
To copy a Video CD (these use audio CD disks--the common
CD-R) the following should do the trick:
$ cdrdao read-cd --paranoia-mode 2 --read-raw data.toc
To then write it to another CD-R:
$ cdrdao write data.toc
There are other tools including readvcd, vcdimager, and
vcdgear.
