This is called a video CD. You should be able to use the same software
you use to create a video DVD.

what do they do and where do I get them ?

I guess just burning a CD with Nero will do it in most cases then ... ? But
what I need is a way to compress, say a 1.5gb down to 700 MB, with a minimum
of hassle .... all I want it to do is compress as little as needed to fit
the MPEG on a CD

what does DVD have to do with any of this if I'm not burning DVDs ? (and my
source material is just MPEG on disk)

I can not help you with compression, though you can burn an MPEG direct
to CD and you may be able to re-compress it. The only program I have
that will re-compress a DVD file is DVD-SHRINK and it insists on DVD
files to begin with (either on your HD or on a disk)

One possibility would be to use NERO to burn to DVD-RW and then use
DVD-SHRINK to re-burn to VCD.

As for the elcard decoders... I followed the links in the DVArchive FA@
of course (www.dvarchive.org and follow the FAQ link) lots of good info
there. They also list other codecs and some other software. You should
read them
