I have a bunch of disk images on my computer and one day I wanted to burn some.
So I went to a local store and bought some CD-R (the images I have come from CDs).
However I soon realized that some of my images were bigger than 700MB (the size of a nomal CD-R) and I wondered how could I possibly burn those.
Anyway, I decided to give it a try and burn a 720MB on a CD-R. The burning process ended without errors, and when I looked into the physical CD, I saw that the space occupied was 680MB. 40MB less then the original image.
So my question is: "Where did those 40MB go?" Did they get compressed? And if yes, how and why?
Hope you can answer to my little question.
Thanks in advance.
