To make a DVD out of a video file, that file must be encoded and sized
to a particular format. There are a number of DVD encoders and
authoring programs that can march you through that -- I use the
TMpegEnc* applications from Pegasys, but there are probably some
freebies out there. Check:

I presume that similar considerations apply to SVCDs.

Since it's too big for a single CDR, yes you will have to do
one of three things:

1) Put it on media with more storage potential, like a DVD.

2) Use some video editor to split it up into multiple files
that are each small enough for the given media.

3) Use some video editor to resample it to a higher
compression so the resultant filesize is smaller, small
enough to fit on the target media. This #3 method has the
most degradation in quality.
