If it's an .mpg file you can burn it as a VCD or SVCD CD that can be
played on most modern stand-alone DVD players.

Thank you so much.
I do not suppose to play this CD on DVD player. I want to have whole
file recorded on one CD-R and play it on my computer.

Your options:
1) Re-encode the video file so it's less than 700MB.
2) Use larger media (e.g. DVD).
That's it.
I'm not sure what you were expecting beyond this, perhaps you're
unfamiliar with the saying "there's no such thing as a free lunch"?
By the way, if you don't know *how* to re-encode the file, this is not
the right place to start asking...

You could always try to split the file. See http://www.doom9.org/

There's transparent iso9660 fs compression support in the Linux
kernel, which is a third option. You can get over a gig of stuff onto
a 700MB CD then.
I don't know what the size limit for iso9660 files is.
Pretty neat, but probably not enough to qualify for "free lunch"
status.

Not if it's already compressed, e.g. like, say, video.

Nope. Video codecs try to compress the data in order to reduce the
size. Trying to compress compressed data is unlikely to do anything
useful.
Because there's no such thing as a free lunch.
