CD-R Disc sizes.

**wonwinglo** · 07-09-2004

What size do these CD-R Discs go up to ? all of mine are 700 mb and I need to save a larger file than will fit the discs.
Most of my local shops seem to sell just 700 mb,perhaps there is another source for these if available ?

You can get 90min CD's which will hold a bit more but your writer will have to support them, depending on how much bigger the file is you can over burn Nero will do this, again your writer will have to support it, or an even better option is get a DVD writer you can pick them dirt cheap now and they hold 4.2GB single layer or the new double layer writers hold 9GB and you can pick on of those up for less than £50

I have just had a DVD rewiter fitted,well I think it is that,one of those combined DVD rom,it says compact disc rewritable-DVD Rom,would this be a reader or a writer ?
Any way of checking Sonic ?

If it says on the front that it's a DVD/CD writer combo then it will just write CD's but it will read DVD's, if it was a DVD writer it would just say DVD writer on the front, a DVD writers can also write CD's
