As GW says you'll need some way of capturing the video in the first place. Video is very bitrate intensive. I.e. you need lots and lots of room to get half-decent quality. Your normal boring CDR can take upto 700MBs, which, at full quality video, would be about 20 minutes worth. You could make a VideoCD or SuperVideoCD, a format which has reduced quality, but is still watchable, and you can get about an hour on a single sided CDr at VCD quality. Depends on what your gonna put on CD. i myself have a DVD writer which can put something like 3 hours of high quality video onto a DVD. Cracking stuff.
