No CD can hold 4GB of data.
His CD might be carrying highly compressed data which on decompression may become 4GB.

he says he had made backup of things like nero,
norton antivirus , window xp and others..........

there is no possibility of linking or optimization..........

i think CD's can be specially designed to carry that much data.

Becoz Lata Mangeshkar was gifted with a CD containing all her songs on her Birthday.

Then how come that CD contain that much songs???

N that time, there were no DVD's.

One thing, it was said that the disc was read by a CD drive.
Secondly, the Mini DVD-r used in handycams cannot contain 4GB.
Correct me if wrong.

4 GB !!!How is it possible.

I have 2 normal cds ,data is compressed in such manner that after extracting it becomes nearly 1.5 GB each but 4Gb is too much and also u r saying these cd's are mini size.

@Akhil Jain

it cannot be read by a cd rom
the guy HAS to be mistaken
a mini cd contains max of 210 mb of data ..
the same size dvd contains a few gb's im not sure how much

but under no case is it a cd ... even with overburning option

remember we arent talkin abt windows 3 in 1 which have common files hence multiple links which give cd capacity as 3.14 gb
we're talkin abt a handycam that writs straight on optical media

hence 4gb on a mini cd is OUT of the question

btw miniDVD ram disks are capable of 2.92 gb of data
miniDVD are 1.47gb in capacity
and mini-DVD is used to describe cds with dvd data on them

1. Did you mean Win 3.1? Otherwise pl explain what is Win 3in1.
2. and mini-DVD is used to describe cds with dvd data on them. Is it correct? If so how can it contain 1.47 GB?
Sorry if I am idiotic.

the cd is some local brand termed as hd-cd

(high definition cd)

i have checked it

it contains 4 gb and it is multi session

nero showing 200 mb available capacity

softwares on it are nero ,norton ,games


no chance of cross linking data as in 3in 1 window cd

he says it cost him 25 bucks


it is being read by my lg cd writer

though the speed is very slow

only compression can help that thing afaik no cd can hold data of 4 gb but yes there are compressor which show that the data is 4 gb but is is 600 -689 mb in real may be some copy protection did u copied the cd
