The Extent Of Overburning

[khattam_]

Just more news........

I created an ISO image which has the size od 631Mb. I burned it to a CD-RW (Imation, 650 Mb) and it has the same properties of the original CD.

I have seen it happen too

I think it is fairly possible because i once brought a cd which had Windows 2003 server STD, WEB & ENT with a size of 2gb. But on copying it to hard drive the file size was same 2gb. Now i have made 3 cds one each for different type...... How is it posibbly done.

Also i checked the size of i386 folder which weremarginally but different sizes in each case. There must be some on the fly compression or something of that sort but i dont know... Also does anyone knows how knoppix fits 2 gb of data in one cd.......

@jay4u
I don't think you understood what theraven was trying to say............... Read the earlier posts. But yes about knoppix cds, it must be some other technique......... Maybe the CD-R is of that data capacity.................... or some compression...............
