OGM / MCF / MP4 Tool!
Just saw this @ Doom9.Org!
A new tool makes it possible to actually burn any kind of data in mode2 onto a CD giving you as much space as on a VCD/SVCD. However, this requires that the container format contains error protection, so AVI is a no go. However, ogm, the upcoming mcf and mp4 can be used. Another catch is that currently you need special software to extract the data again. But if we get some filters/players/drivers that can directly access the data on the disc that would allow us to put almost 800MB of ogm/mcf/mp4 data onto a regular 700MB CD.
