Question

Well I have this CD that I would like to copy. Now the problem arises when I try and burn the CD. The file that I am trying to copy is on a CD with 700 MB 80 min disk space. The file on the disk exceeds 700MB. In fact it’s about 744MB. What I cannot understand is how it all managed to fit on this CD.

Also suggest ways to fit the same on a similar disk. It's a VCD actually.

Answer 1

ya , its an type of technology Encoding the file .

whereas once an video is encoded before writing in to the disk the size of the file may get depress depends upon the format

In order to burn your VCD, you first must have a video file that it is already encoded in MPEG-1 format. Let's say you took your digital camcorder to your son's baseball game and wanted to record the highlights onto a VCD, first transfer the video media to your hard drive. Once the video is accessible via your computer, you can now encode it into the MPEG-1 format.

Usually, you will need an encoding program. The good news is that there are many free and low cost products that make encoding a video file into MPEG-1 complete with high quality stereo sound. Usually, you will first open up this encoding software, follow the prompts and select which format, you would like (many encoding software can encode not only in MPEG-1, but also MPEG-2, DIVX, AVI, etc.). From this point, the encoding software will quickly and efficiently encode the original video file into a ready to burn MPEG-1 file.

Now that you have your MPEG-1 file, you can easily use your normal CD burning software to burn your VCD. Just pop in a blank, recordable CD into your CD Recordable drive, open up your CD burning application and follow the prompts. From start to finish, changing a normal video file into a completed VCD usually take only a few minutes.

You can use Nero for burning where as it have inbuild encoding technology

Answer 3

You need to use the "Copy entire disc" option in Nero Express.
This will create a .nrg file on your hard disk.
Now insert a blank cd.The burn process will start automatically.You will see that entire disk contents have been copied on the new CD.
Finally the .nrg file will be deleted.

Answer 4

You could first reduce the file size by Compressing or Zipping it. Either WINZIP or WINRAR would work just fine.
