Procyon Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 I know the cd has 700 Mb, but I want to know how to minimize the size of a file, so it can enter in a cd.Can I burn DVDs with a normal cd writer?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acriku Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 You can always partition it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollyon Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 There should be an option for compression on your CD burner if it's any good. Alternatively buy an 800/900 MB CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 You can try to burn it anyway.A disk of 700 MB is actually somewhat larger then 700 MB. I don't know what the maximum is but try it anyway.I can't guarentee that it works. But I did it a few times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hilamobster13 Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 daas overburn, geistesgestoorten der eire!!! bachen der boot!err, it's called overburning. most burning programs have the option, but it can be bad for your burner.ex, wal mart supercenter has dvd-rw drives for 49.99!! im gonna get one tomorrow!!

Terror Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Y thingy is right. You can use overburn, i know it is on Nero burning rom anyway. Then you can add another 50 mb or so. So i think you can get 750 mb on one cd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terror Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 hmmm not sure, might be yeah. I know dreamcast uses 1gig cd's :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Just give the order to burn the cd.Put all stuff in, and you can see that it is larger then 700 MB. But then just give the order to burn, and maybe you'll get a warning, but you can ignore that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procyon Posted July 21, 2003 Author Share Posted July 21, 2003 Is a movie in .avi format of 714 Mb(713+MB). There is a way to transform it to a smaller format?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Compress it into a .zip file using WinZip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Compress it into a .zip file using WinZip.if it's a movie, compressing it to zip will not work. i tried that before also. where i zipped a 724 mb movie into 723 mb (not a joke). If there are multiple files, it might work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 I use WINRAR and find it to be better than winzip and better interface and ease of use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
