    Well... for VHS simply open up the little flap and very carefully taking a pair of scissors cut the........ :p

    But seriously.....
    You might be able to over-burn the CD, but other than that the only way is to eidt the film and recompress it, but you'd lose a lot of quality in the process. You could always burn it to a DVD if you have a DVD writer?

    You could re encode the film assuming you can transfer it to pc and then encode it to divx/Xvid that way you can have over 5 hours on to a dvd 4.3gb or more

    You can get cheap dvd players now that play mpeg4 now or a pc will do the trick

    Don't buy cheap one's, and always "eject" the device before removal.
