  If you want to put this on an AUDIO CD that will play in a standard CD player, you must edit the LENGTH of the program as the audio CD format is always burned at 44.1 kHz 16 bit, regardless of how you compress the original file.

  150 minutes will fill two 80 min. audio CDs.

  If you want to convert this to mp3 format and burn a CD ROM (or on a CDRW), that will work fine. You’ll have plenty of room for the whole lecture (and much more) on a single CD.

  But,
  You will have to play that disc in a CD player that can play mp3 files (there are many) and/or in a computer CD ROM player.
