DanManXZ Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 I have burned many games like that. It's very common for me. Like for Ps2 games and DC games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderSkorpion Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Are you sure? I know that some 90 minute CD-Rs disguise themselves as 80 minute CD-Rs (to the burner), but I've never heard of actual 80 minute ones that could go that far. I think maybe you're mistaken or the label is lying to you, but I can't really say for sure (800MB is a STEEP increase from the normal max.).

StriderSkorpion Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Either way it's definitely a good thing if you're getting 800MB. Usually when you buy them, they'll tell you that they're 90 minute CD-Rs. I've never heard of anyone passing them off as 80 minutes, though. I guess it's possible since you don't really see 90 or 99 minute CD-Rs in stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibathedog Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderSkorpion Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 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 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 (edited) 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 www.howstuffworks.com read about CDRs Edited April 7, 2004 by Shibathedog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderSkorpion Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibathedog Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 you mean like a picture of the window with all the files on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderSkorpion Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 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 Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 this PC has WinXP and it says its 768MB, which is weird because i remember burning at least 780MB of stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
