How to burn 800mb CDRs?

milltown · 2003-11-01 14:35:00

Quick question: I bought some 800MB CDRs from Komplett but when I try to burn them they only show as ~700MB, whether I use XP or Nero. CD writer is the new Samsung 52x CDRW/DVD combo (haven't got the model no. handy). Any ideas?

Assuming you got 800Mb and a CDburner to go with.... how widespread is the compatibility of these CDRs on ordinary CD drives? That is, those of you that have them... did you ever encounter drives that could read them or perhaps not able to read certain sections of the CDR? Or were the drives pre-1999 or other?

Thanks....
