Can you get a CD that is more than 700 Megs???

Is there something around 800??

Thanks.

No, I'm pretty sure 700 is the max.

Yes...they're called DVDs. :P

yes, you can get larger cd's, you just have to look around - theyre not very common

DVD-Rs are pretty cheap these days y'know :P

You can find 90 minute (800MB) CD-R's, but not every CD writer will be able to write to them.

And your software may or may not support overburning (going over the 700MB level).

Do you know where I can get these?

And the software?

Why not shrink whatever it is you need to burn?

As to where to get them, I can't think of anywhere in town.. the were big for a short while. I couldn't find any with a quick search either.

You'd have to check your software and hardware to see if it supported it (usually in the help, search for overburning, or do a google search for your CD-RW and overburning). Nero supports it on the software side, not sure about anything else.

For the hassle, it's much easier to simply spend a few bucks and get a DVD burner.. with boxing day sales, they'll be cheap. FutureShop has a Benq DVD burner for $49 after mail in rebate.
