ok another one of my "anyone" series... :drinkers: has anyone seen one of these around? I haven't and am quite interested as frankly never heard of CD-R with 850MB capacity... :smt017 anyone know any other brand that makes 850MB CD-R? cheers
seen 900mb CDs advertised a few times... to be honest I am surprised that they managed to cram so much more space on the same surface while maintaining compatiblity :smt017
. yea! thought 700MB was great when it came out... haven't followed with CD-R lately I've moved to DVD+/- since but it looks like they never stopped to improving... wonder what's like these high capacity beast reliability... cheers
850mb can be fit onto a 700meg disk with overburn (recording on the outer layer of a disk), although its not always safe, could they be 700mb disks? Rich
Well 900 mb discs are quite common now and are almost the same price as 700mb discs, only problem is you need a pretty recent burner or an update because most older model see them as 700 mb discs :Hangman: Personally i haven't used these since i only use a dvd recorder these day but they don't seem to me be to be verry reliable.
770mb CDR is the most compatible and can be written up to 24x. I did experience a 850mb CDR and the only way to burn properly is at a low speed. Try burning it at 1x :Hangman: .
When the CD format was first created, they originally decided to make them 1GB, but decided that nobody would need that much space, so limited it to 650MB. That obviously has been exceeded which is why you get up to 900MB, the real test now is if anyone can make a native 1GB CD, the system is there to support it, we just need a company to take up the challenge.
i brunt wiht 99mins disc all the time. been useing them since last year. they work great. i mostly use them for xvid and divx movies =belokk=
I'm drunk Cool... well that reminds me of something... way back in the day when CD-ROM was new, I often saw CD-ROM being advertised as having a capacity of 550 MB :smt017
HD-burn? how does that work? can every dvdburner burn hd-burn? can you use it with normal 700mb cdrs or you need special ones? can you make video cds :O can every dvd/vcd player play em? :O, i think it would be great for backing up stuff.. less cds and dont have to waste 2 bucks on a dvd+r...
According to what Sanyo says, every DVD drive should be capable of reading a HD-Burn cd throug a firmware upgrade. You can use normal CD-R's, I got 1.4GB on a 700mb cdr, a little less on a 650mb Cdr. I wonder how much data a 850mb cdr can hold using hdburn...
Even newer models see them as 700 initially the discs have ot be overburned to get the full 900 out of them. Most burners see them as 700 and so overburn is used to get the full 900.
