okay, maybe im just completely retarted, but i have read through like everything in the intro or whatever to iso files, but i still cant figure out what i actually have to do to get the file that i have which is 740 mb onto a 700 mb disc. i have divided the bite size by 2352, still not knowing exactly what that does. i have nero and was trying to follow what was being said but couldnt figure out a thing. im not a huge computer guy so i might just not understand what i actually being said
Tsk tsk, you didn't read the 'sticky' threads carefully. 2352 is the not the bite size, but the Sector Size. This applies only to images, because the data (the dimension of a CD is calculated using this size, and therefore is NOT the correct CD Size) occupy 2048 bytes/Sector. Therefore, a '[bold]700 MB disc[/bold]' means that it has [bold]360,000 Sectors[/bold] (2048*360,000 = 737,280,000 bytes, approx. 700 MB) and can contain RAW images up to 2352*360,000 = 846,720,000 bytes large ('cooked image' means thet all bytes exceding 2048, which are Error Corection Codes and Error Detection Codes - EDC + ECC - are re-calculated by the burner, and therefore the new disc is not a perfect 1:1 copy of the old one and doing a backup of protectied CD, which contain necessary data in the part exceeding 2048, is impossible if you don't make a RAW image), up to 2336*360,000 = 840,960,000 bytes large of movies (e.g. a VCD)), 846,720,000 bytes of Audio (which always occupy 2352 bytes/Sector, and therefore 700 MB = 80', even if a song 1' song needs a 10.1 MB long .WAV file ) Therefore the Cuesheet (.CUE) can be written: FILE “C:\MYDATA.WAV” AUDIO TRACK 01 INDEX 01 00:00:00 TRACK 02 INDEX 01 04:27:19 ... TRACK N INDEX 01 75:30:02 FILE “C:\MYDATA.RAW” BINARY TRACK 01 MODE1/2352 ... or FILE “C:\MYDATA.RAW” BINARY TRACK 01 MODE2/2336 ... or FILE “C:\MYDATA.RAW” BINARY TRACK 01 MODE1/2048 ... (same with MODE2<->MODE1 but MODE2/2048 and MODE1/2336 don't exist) Understood? _X_X_X_X_X_[small]Read forum rules! http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/2487[/small]
