ShadowAce,
I just wanted to ask a quick question unrelated to this, if that’s okay.
You know how CD-Rs hold 700MB of data and DVD-R’s hold 4.7GB?
Can’t I put a blank DVD-R in a CD burner and burn 4.7GB of files to it? Or do you actually need a DVD burner in order to burn to blank DVDs?
I swear that some guy in my neighborhood burns files to blank DVDs, even though he only has a CD burner, not a DVD burner.
Is that possible? Thanks for any suggestions/clarification.
No, it’s not possible. CD burners and DVD burners use different steps in the laser motor. The DVD burner burns so much more because the laser step motor doesn’t go as far, and also because the media allows it. CD burners cannot burn DVDs—the drive won’t even recognize the media if inserted.
