Pc Iso Burning

[Shibathedog]

err, i only buy the standard 700MB 80Minute CDRs

 

How do i do it? Easy!! Most modern DVD/CD burners that burn at 8X or faster can do it

 

or at least thats what ive noticed, probably because DVD burners have a finer burning lense laser type thing (I actually DO know what im talking about, i just can remember the technical term hehe) so they can overburn more efficiently/accuratly/more

That's strange as most sites that talk about CD burning mention overburning, but not that much. I guess a DVD burner could do that, but I've never heard of that happening. Technically, it should cause errors in reading the CD since you're burning WAY past the normal limits. I don't know if they've changed the way CD-Rs are made, though. If they have, then that could explain, but I really have no clue what's going on in your case.

[Shibathedog]

it probably burns past the limits on BOTH sides is why (inner and outer)

 

or maybe outside of where its suposed to be burning the the first place...hmm..if you know how a CD works i suppose you could say its Burning in between the lines, its hard to explain if you dont know how it works exactly

Can I see a screenshot of the 800MB CD? I'm just curious if Windows would properly recognize the size or not. I know that with larger CD-Rs (90 & 99), they are wound tighter than normal. I guess it's treating/burning it like that and overstepping the normal bounds for audio and data (the lead-in and lead-out sections).

[Shibathedog]

you mean like a picture of the window with all the files on it?

[StriderSkorpion]

You don't have to send the picture. I was just curious if Windows would recognize the CD-Rs proper burned size. It may have to do with the way Windows interacts with the burner, though (file size report). As on my other PC with my old burner, WinME wouldn't recognize CD-Rs that were 80 minutes (blank ones, at least). WinXP has no problem with this.

[Shibathedog]

this PC has WinXP and it says its 768MB, which is weird because i remember burning at least 780MB of stuff

[StriderSkorpion]

Still quite a bit of data, none the less. I have no more input other than WinME sucks compared to WinXP (never thought I'd ever really like a M$ product, until XP).

[Shibathedog]

I have XP, but i wish i had Windows 2000, i like that one best

[StriderSkorpion]

Eh, it's not bad, but I prefer XP. I don't mind the layout, in fact it was refreshing when I first installed it. I wonder if my new CD burner can overburn like yours. Only way to find out is to try it, but I don't have that much data I need burn on a CD.

[Shibathedog]

burn the same file repeadedly?

My normal CD Burner does it too. See Strider I told you could do that. I kno Maxell isn't stupid. ( I wish it was tho ) I am not stupid.

[StriderSkorpion]

I thought maybe people were just selling 90 minute CD-Rs as 80 minute as some have been made to be recognized like that. DanManXZ, I didn't think you were stupid, it's just that things must've changed in the manufacturing and burning. What I read about overburning, they said you couldn't reach THAT far. I hope manufacturing has changed for CD-Rs since I have an older CD burner (not real old, just a couple years).

[Shibathedog]

oh then i guess my theory is wrong...but at least my general idea type thing isnt because someone else is doing it too

[StriderSkorpion]

Well, I have no clue. AFAIK, things MAY have changed or it has to do with the burners/burn method. Anyways, enjoy what you can do. BTW, do console systems have problems reading them (i.e. DC, PSX, PS2, etc.)?
