Another possibility : If its < 800 MB make an Ogg from the AVI using Moritz
Bunkus' OGMtools and burn it in mode 2 form 2 on every normal 80 mins CD
like it was a S-VCD ( no overburning required ), using the XCD tools from
http://xcd.sourceforge.net . I am sorry i lost track a bit on this project,
cant tell you what actual development status is with it.

They planned to have extra safety for Ogg files by saving main header ( and
only header ) in mode 2 form 1 , but i dont know if its implemented already.
Linux version was planned also, again no idea what actual status is. mplayer
should be able to read the files directly from CD with a minor patch ( maybe
already done ?? ) as it can play S-VCDs from disc, so reading mode 2 form 2
and parsing the Ogg then should be quite easy to do for mplayer.
