Strnage Size

[hrushij]

It looks strnage but it is true.......
I have copied A DAT file from VCD to my hard drive. Now it is showing up to 900 MB size & I cannot make cd with that file even though i have copied from only one cd.................
How does it possible to contain upto 900 Mb in 700 Mb size disk

well when u brun a VCD those big looking Dat files gets compress a little... so they fit in... but in this case it looks like u need a 800MB CD to burn that...

many Original VCD now days comes in 800MB media... may be to get some more data on it or rather simple trying to stop illigal copy as 800MB blank cds are hard to come by

If the video time is less than 80 minutes, I think it's possible. I have a CD with a dat file of 718MBs size. And I didn't even overburn it.

if u ever plan to burn such VCDs then dont copy it into the computer and burn....instead make a IMAGE of tht cd and then simply burn tht image... it will surely work.... i bought garam masala movie from CDwala and each cd was havin 745 mb of data in it... i made the image and thn made my own cd.... worked errorfree...

Yes it is.. when we just copy it directly it works..........
