What is the max space available on empty CDs?

Question

I just know about 700mb or 80min.Can I get more space?

Answer 1

650MB - 700 MB CD
DVD - 4.7 GB +- RW
DVD DL - 8.4 GB
Blue RAY- 20GB - 50 GB DL

Answer 2

There are specialty cds that will give you 750 and 800. If you want to get more out of the cds you have, I would use nero, as they have an overburn system. I wouldn't go more than say 4-7 mb over the total, or you may damage your cd burner permanently.

Answer 3

normal cd are 700 mb or less...you can get more space on highly condensed disk which are around 800 MB....the smallest cd-r available are 185 mb or 25 mins.. they are about half the size of normal cd-r s. if you have a DVD burner you can burn DVDs. single layer are usually 4.7 GB and dual layers are usually 8.5 GB. Newer technology is coming in like HD or Blue ray but it is very expensive and only one recorder in the market from Phillips. Hope it helps

Answer 4

I found some 817mb (90 minute) ones!

You need to remember that when you burn bigger files, you get closer to the edge of the cd (where you see lots of fingerprints!)

As mentioned above, Nero can give you a couple of extra minutes on a regular CD by overburning. Good Luck.
