How to burn a 750mb .bin file

[djstorm]

Does anyone know how I can burn a 750mb file on a regular cd? Since CD-Rs can only record up to 700mb, is there any way I can put more than 700mb on a CD? Thanks

hmmm, it's been a while since I've messed with .bin files. I believer you just point to it (or the .cue) in nero and burn it. Doesn't matter that it's currently over 700mb. It will fit on a single disc.

Is it plain data or a VCD/SVCD? If the latter, it will fit on a 700M blank.

Yup, vcd/svcd goes by the minutes not by the mb.

50mb over seems much, but you *could* overburn the CD. It's an option under Nero and your CDRW must support it too.

But if it's SVCD/VCD, then no worries, it'll fit..

Can someone briefly give me an explanation why vcd/svcd is counted in *time* rather than in actual megabytes? I've heard that there is some sort of automatic compression thing going on but I haven't confirmed this.

I mean, it flies in the face of data is data is data. Why can you fit 750 megs onto a 700 meg max disc?

Thanks.

VCD/SVCD's can be burnt in 2 ways:

Data:
Has the same constraints as a regular cd. 700 megs and you're finished.

VCD:
In this option w/ programs like Nero, the movie is acually recorded just as sound is recorded so you're costrained to 80 minutes of movie per cd just as audio would be. This is the way you burn a VCD if you would like it to play on a capable DVD player.

Data and audio are both recorded differently on CD's(which is why you can put more then 700 meg of "raw" data on a CD when the file is a VCD/SVCD. I don't have time to go into the indept detail of how both formats are recorded on a CD and why they differ in constraints, maybe this is where someone else can pick up my slack
