I'm wondering how it is possible to burn 800 megs of wav to an audio cd.
I wanna burn a music cd but it's over 800 megs, so how did it fit in the first place? How would I get it on one cd?
 
mmmmm????? good question... thats pretty interesting , cos its not like it can be compressed or anything like that , it must still be audible.... i reckon youll probly need a disk that size... check out some places , see if an 800MB disk exist ... it might , and we may be worried over nothing ... let us know how u go though .. good luck..

I have heard of a 700 meg disc, but i don't know the exact amount of audio. Probably 78 minutes or something.
 
Normal CDs are 74 minutes of audio or 650 megs of data. They make a higher capacity CD that holds 80 minutes of audio or 700 megs of data (waves). If you have more than that you'll have to put it on 2 CDs. Sorry Dude.
 
so how did they originally get all of it on one disc ... is it one of those corporate mystery things ... we may never know ...!!
 
Sounds like he is wanting to copy a disk that has some copy protection on it. There are a few companies out that provide protection software to software developers where they can make it look like there is more data on the disk then there actually is.

You could try a program that transfers data sectors to make a copy rather then a file association deal like most burning software does. But, in this case, you cannot make a Audio CDR with it.

I would suspect that there is one "dummy" file on the disk that is taking it over the top of storage capacity. You could always try copying everything else but that file. You will know that file because it probably doesn't do anything... :)

Good luck. And remember, pirating disks is illegal! LOL....

an audio cd is different than a data cd... you can burn 800 megs of wav files to a cd-r in audio format as long as the running time is under 74 minutes..
