Need Info: Is my 52x CD Writer Capable of HD-Burn?

[0ptimist]

The newer DVD+-RWs have HD-Burn, do CDRW's do it as well? Did a search on google, didn't find much about it, according to Sanyo's site HD-Burn was introduced in Sep 2002, I have a burner, don't know which one it is, it's a rebadged Khypermedia. Does it have HD-Burn? Didn't find any info on Khypermedia's product page.
Do any CDRWs have HD-Burn or only the newer DVD Burners have this feature?
Does it require a special media or the ordinary CD-R would do?
Does it require a DVD ROM (with a firmware update) to read such discs or an ordinary CDROM/RW device can read it?
Does it require some special software or would Nero 6.3.0.3 work (simply adding 1400MB of stuff and burn it) ?

It requires an HD-burn compatible drive for it to be read, so unless you have a friend with an HD-burn drive, you're better off sticking to DVDs or CDs 🙂

Well, I have just bought an HD-Burn compatible DVD Writer that I'll just receive in a day, now I want to find whether ordinary media is good enough for double data HD-Burn, and which kind of drives read it. I have a Lite-on DVDROM, will it read the disc?

My dvd writer has HD Burn for cd's too and I havent been able to get it to work. I have tried several different types of cds and no go. I have since given up on it and stuck to plain cds or dvds. Like dopefiend said it's best that way for compatability....

I think HD - CD is generally only readable on the drive that burned it. The Plextor Premium CD burner has one format of it, a Sony drive had another (since Sony went to largely rebadging LiteOn, I don't think they make that drive any more). There are vanishingly few (if any) regular CD/DVD-ROM or CDRW that can read it.
. It's more for local backup than for data sharing.
