if we are talking about tv shows, each episode is around 300mbs so in theory you could fit around 14 to 15 episodes on one disc if they are compressed. cd cannot hold video files only audio, if you try and use it for movies or shows it wont work. as far as a blu-ray disc it can hold about the same of 14 to 15 episodes. that is for the average size dvd disc of 4.7gb

cd-recorded video has always been makeshift.
early 90s- vcd was used in some video games. used mpeg-1, quality tended to suck and was dropped when dvd came along.
early 2000s- cd-r drives and dvd players became affordable at the same time. so, vcds could be burned on a home computer and played in the living room. the compression quality still sucked, though. to make a cd-r look as good as a dvd, super videocd was devised. this was never a real format, more of a fakeout for the player. it's just recording a shortened or lower quality dvd stream onto a cd-r. because the bitrate has to be dvd-speed, the disc must spin very fast and living room dvd players often fail to play these discs.

so, burn to dvd. dvds can hold many many hours at low quality.

there's some truth to the anweres given but there is some seriuos misinformation provided by f-u-n
first of all cds can do video. you just have to have the right program to convert the video to a format that can be read by dvd players as a mpeg1. average quality but if you use cds you want to use the best quality of recording which means maybe 45minutes of video so 1 episode per cd. but again only if its converted correctly, as for dvds, assuming they are not dual layer, each dvd is 4.7gb. dvd video uses mpeg 2 encoding, you can usually get 2 hours at standard speed on a single dvd. (1 hr if you use the best recording mode) but even of you use the ep mode (aka 6 hour slp on a video cassette) you can get 6 hours of video and it is still better than a vhs at sp quality. so you can get 6 eps at reasonably good quality on a dvd (for dual layer 12, obviosuly) for blu ray its much more than that. blu rays hold 30 - 50gb per side on each disk depending on the layering. it is conceiveable that without all the extras on the season 1 disc of star trek the original series, you can actually store all 29 episodes of season 1 on a single side of a blu ray. but most blu ray recordable discs are of the 25 -30gb range, so if all you were recording was tv shows without commercials, most 1 hour shows are about 22 - 24 episodes a season so even if a couple were 2 hour episodes, you could store an entire season without commercials, perhaps even with, on a single layer blu ray disc. using the mpeg2 format. using the newer mpeg4 will allow about the same if double layered or about 1.5 x as much if compressed. but some older players cannot play compressed files as they are not recognized, and firmware updates wont help. for best quality, figure on 4.5 gb for every 1 hour of video, but again, even at the slowest recording speed possible for blu ray, you can still get better than standard dvd quality if you used the slowest record speed (ep, if its an option on blu ray) when blu ray first came out they used the star wars saga as comparison to describe how much would fit on a single disk. it was said that there was enough room on a single layered 30gb blu ray to store all 6 movies and still have room left over for some of the extras.
