U ALL HAVE GOT IT WRONG :) :) :) A cd can hold more than 700 mb bcoz.....(I am not speaking of the 800MB cd) Actually
1KB=1024bytes
1MB=1024KB
1GB=1024 MB and so on.........

For simplicity they take::
1KB=1000bytes
1MB=1000KB and so on
The 24 bytes or KB is skipped alway
Calculate how much MB they have ignored.....

Disclaimer:::
Well I am Note sure of this answer. I AM NOT ALWAYS RIGHT!!!

hi all,

cds generally i hav seen of 700MB only of most brands. i've downloaded isos nearly 800MB from the net, so was wondering if it was meant for cd or dvd. now i know the concept of overburning, so i understood hw to burn it on cd.

use the overburn feature or get an 800 MB cd :)
Nah.. DAT files dont need to be overburned.. VCD'd and Audio CD's are taken by time.. (A 700 MB cd is 80 minutes..) So it doesnt matter how big the file is, as long as you are making a VCD (and the file is in VCD format).. Generally DAT file wont exceed 760 mb for 80 mins..

Well.....
i think CD's can be any capacity(well be logical here....it cant obviously be a TB ) ..... when CD's are procuced in large scale... cant remember the exact term... these are called pressed CD's or something...

now if they fit in too much of DATA...say 1000Mb.... well many CD roms might not be able to read them... it depends on a particular CDrom also...

but 800-850 Mb cd's are easily available.... if anyone purchased the CD of Hazaar Khwahishen Aisi....
it was 820Mb.... i got it... so no big deal...

but this is what is my personal thoughts.... might very well be wrong....
so dont quote
