I know, not essentially P2P, but an offshoot of it. How come all the files are currently taking up 750 mbs of space when my burn cd only has 700mbs? I have two files that are 424 mbs eah, but when I try to burn using nero to a vcd format it shrinks them both to 375 (=750 mbs of one cd), so there only 50mbs over size. I don't want to burn them to separate CDs (wasteful) and would like to get them on one disc. Is there a way, or am I doomed to wasting my money?
wait for someone else to come along and tell a way, but until then..................
you're hardly wasting money! how much do you pay for your cd-rs?????!!!!!!

vcds are burned in a different mode to data. you can burn 800mb to an 80min cd.
I pay only 99cents for a 50pack of blank cd-rs. after mail in rebate of course

why aren't there loads of rebates like that in the uk?
I read about them all the time, cdrw drives for 15 dollars and all that... As if we weren't getting screwed already...
that is fucking stupid!!!! 99cents????
the cheap rate here is about £10 for 50.
currently on a euro a CD (one cut). Will look around for cheaper. And before you say, buy over the net, i don't have a credit card.
it seems wasteful to have a half empty CD anyway
if you're paying as much as one euro a cd, you're mad.
In the uk, you can get pretty much the best cds you can buy, Verbatim DataLifePlus, for less than 25p/disc, and cheaper ones (cheap ritek dye discs) for 15p each.
Video file can be an mpg;avi or anything...but while burning a VCD .dat format is used........hence the shrinkage........
and try UleadDVD movie factory.....its pretty good, u can make more than 1 thumbnail for 1 video file, aliowing u to automatically jump to a desired length, not available in nero!!
Try the full cracked version ofcourse.....is available on KaZaA
Have fun
As you're paying in Euros, I'm guessing youre in Europe (where did I get that idea from?!), and probably in a major city? You should be able to get spindles at a rate of about €10 for 25 CDs. Shop around, generally go to the big stores.Originally posted by DonkeyWan

I don't know where you live, but here in the Netherlands it's 4,99 euro for a 10 pack 700mb cd's at the Lidl. At the Aldi it's 9,98 for 20 cd's. In germany it's 3,99 for a 10 pack at the Lidl. Lidl and Aldi are the cheapest stores. If you want 800mb cd's goto Dixons there you have a 10 pack 800mb cd's for 9,95.
And that's as cheap as it get's...
PS. You can easily fit 740mb on a 700mb CD using overburn.
Currently using eMule 0.42c
@kyle: then it would't play back as a vcd, and you'd fit far less than 800mb of data on, because you'd be burning in mode1 *and* mpeg-1 is compressed anyway, and would barely compress.
@andy_trn: not all cds/cdrw drives will overburn.
and as i already explained, and 80min cd will hold 800mb of mpeg-1 compliant video.
