Does anyone know why most DVD rips at just over 700MB, and have to be split onto 2 disks? I can't imagine the slight loss of quality would not be preferred to halving the cost of your cd usage. Every time I rip one, I make sure it's around 690MB, so it can fit on any CD.
ummmm not a 2+ hour film.
Most rips are exactly as big as they should be to get them on 1 disc !?!
Most files are shown to be about 717 mb, but with nero it always fits on a 700 disc...
never got ur prob... what burning prog u use ??
Use 800MB CD's

well BOT u could also tell him to buy a DVD-Burner, what would solve his problem even more efficent.....
Don't be fooled by kazaa's filesizes being in KB (kilobytes).
The real capacity of a 700 MB CD is about 703 MB which is around 720,000 KB.
So anything below 720,000 KB will fit nicely in a 700 MB CD without overburn. ;)
There are some formats like (S)VCD which have bigger filesizes than the limit, but they will still fit a 700 MB CD without overburn. Go here for more information.
You just did, so I'll pass.Quote:

this is correct. a lot of people make the mistake of thinking 1000kb = 1mb, but it isn't.Quote:

and with a lot of 700mb CD-R's, you can overburn to approx 710mb. it just depends on your burner and the brand of discs.
