I'm not sure what you're asking. Codecs are meaningless in terms of MPEG-1 video as you use the MPEG-1 codec. If you are asking what codec should you use to record AVI video that you want to convert to MPEG-1, I suggest the Huffy codec. It's supposed to be lossless, which would, in theory, give you the best quality. Please be aware that you can not get 90 minutes of video onto one CD-R. You will either have to split the film so it can be burned onto 2 CD-Rs, lower the bit rate which will make the quality much worse, or burn to a 90 minute or 99 minute CD-R, but there is no guarantee this will work or that your player will be able to read the disc.
