Videos onto CD-R

Well i have some short videos and stuff that will be able to fit onto a CD-R disc. I know that if i burn the video to a dvd then i will be able to play it. But what if i want to save a dvd and burn it to a cd-r?

Can CD-R's support video? I mean my dvd player will support both dvds and cds but im not sure if the cd-r can support video.

So is it possible to burn a short video to a CD-R instead of a DVD-R and be able to play it on a regular dvd player?

Within the size limits, a CD and DVD both record data. It
should work.

On Google search for "VCD" (for Video Compact Disk)
http://www.google.com
The first search result I get is http://www.videohelp.com/vcd

The format is called VCD (Video CD), it will give about an hour of
VHS-quality video (with audio) per CD. *MOST* but not all DVD players
handle it.

So is it not possible to just burn a short video onto a cd and play it on a dvd player?

Your saying I HAVE to convert it to vcd or something else or it wont work?
