I need those CD's they use, 12 hours of recording on one disk? Its hard to get a single Pink Floyd album to fit on the ones I burn.
Probably digital files on the disk, MP3's with a high encoding rate to preserve quality.
Probably also encrypted, requiring a specially provided laptop for playback.
They are probably not recorded in stereo. lol
Did you turn it over?

tried double layer dvd's ?
You must be using the WAV format to burn your CD's. Try burning them using mp3 @ 128kps (good stereo quality) and you should be able to easily fit 10 hours of music on 1 CD. I have myself recorded over 225 songs on one using this format.
That is because your Pink Floyd album is in wav format for a standard CD to read.
A decent codec, particularly for voice, can put 35 hours or more on a CD.
Compressed files maybe???
Or it may be a DVD with with mp3 or other audio files???
Even a double album can be put on a cd.
Umm its called compression, and audio speech is less needy of hi fidelity than music, so more compression can be used. Your burn of Floyd to disk is not the same as taking that same Floyd album and ripping it to MP3 and then putting those files on CD. You'll have room to spare if MP3 files are on the CD.
mp3 format would fit. Windows audio would fit. Think a minute per meg, up to 720 meg on a cd, 12 hours exactly.
Maybe he has a Blu-Ray ...

They might be in MP3 format and not WMAs, which take up more space.
Check out the MP3 books at Worldtainment corporation. You can get a long novel on one ordinary CD.

All depends on the recording sampling rate, and whether or not the recording was continuous for the 12 hours.
For example, if instead of the usual music sampling rate of 44.1 KHz (samples per second), recording at 10 KHz would give about 4 times the recording time for the same file size, with no reduction in voice playback quallity.
You gotta compress the files! And the early Floyd was the best.
Kind regards,
