Not really.  My CD-Recorder can overburn up to 720MB on a normal 700MB
CD, and I have yet to have problems playing it on any CD-ROM.

This isn't an AVI file is it?  You did convert it to Matroska or Ogm
before recording it in Mode2 didn't you? (or was it already a matroska
or ogm file?)

It's recorded like a VCD.  With luck, mplayer should be able to play it
with just "mplayer vcd://1"
