i went crazy searching for 800mb cd-rs.. cudn't find even one in the market till today here in bangalore!!!

your options are:
1>use winrar to create split archives of whatever sizes you want
2>or use UHA - UHARC Compressed Archive, which actually compresses upto 10 times.

I have got the file size
'bout 843mb
so writing on a 800mb CD is out

@pannaguma
plz elaborate u r point

[saggygenius]

use tools like WIN UHA,or KGB compressor,
these are the high compression tools , better than WIN ZIP & winrar,
try them,
hey the file size is 834 MB right,
so try burning the file using the overburning option in nero,
or else use the above tool,

[b]P.S:-the compression takes a lot of time, so make sure you have a high end processor with attleast 1 GIG ram,[b/]

[pannaguma]

^^ in the window of winrar just before compression starts, there are many tabs and many options on each tab. on the first tab, in the lower left corner, you will see option to create split archives. select 700MB (CD) from the drop down list. so it will create two parts, 1st of 700mb & 2nd of 143mb.

was it a DATA cd or a VCD. coz while burning VCD if length of the file is less than 80min (or 74min) it will get burned regardless of file size. (i mean upto a reasonable limit). i have seen 753MB VCDs.

[Tech.Masti]

me also seen more than 700MB VCD on a 700MB cd , when i try to copy to another CD , cant copy it ......
somewhere heard that you can write more than 700MB with UltraISO ( a software) , me and my friends try to make that but cant

[Ramakrishnan]

best solution, buddy, is to create split archives burn them into separate cd's

WOW !!! We have a new record here.

[sai_cool]

dude, best option - get a dvd write costs rs.1400. and then buy a dvd - rs.12 and burn man! i mean ur still in ancient cd writer days! or u can use the split option in winrar

[pannaguma]

yeah talking about dvdrs, what is the maximum amount of data you have squeezed into a dvd? i usually write not more than 4350MB = 4.25GB. what about you guys?

[Quiz_Master]

^^ I write 4400 MBs approx. It doesn't let me write more then 4438 MBs.
