Burning CDs

[KrzyPrk]

Hi,

I have burn some CDs of 74Min 650MB. Now, I'm planning to burn CDs of 80Min 700MB. I'm just wondering when burning a CD-R of 80Min 700MB, is it the drive that's supporting it or the software? or are all drives able to burn onto 80MB CD w/ the support of the software?

thanks

Both the software and drive must support it, but most do. What are you using? Firmware and software updated?

Just like 30, 60, 90, 120 minute casette tapes
CDs will change as technology advances. Your CD-R should be able to handle any size CD as long as the formatting is the same.
Cast aside thy limitations; and thou shall be boundless!

What burner? I think EZCD4 will do 700 Mb CDs if you update the software (to 4.05 I think). I haven’t used it for a while, but I think even the updated version of the EZCD 4 still shows only 650 available, but it will overburn to the full 700. Perhaps someone could confirm that.

Some Sonys and Sony based HPs will not overburn even with the updated software. There is a workaround with the Sonys.
