Burnin' 80min/700MB CD-R

[Stick_e_Mouse]

If I remember right, Tom mentioned in his "Flask-Mpeg" guide that all CD-Burners support both 74min/650mb and 80min/700mb CD-Rs, while only some CD-Burners support higher capacity CD-Rs.
Well, I bought 2 different brands of 80min/700mb CD-Rs and my generic LG burner only recognizes it as 650mb. I tried both CD-Rs with both EZ CD Creator and CDRWin--all the same result.
So is Tom right or wrong? Do I need a better burner, different burning program, or maybe another CD-R brand?? Let me know what you think. And if anyone successfully accomplished what I am trying to do, let me know what your set-up is...aiight!! Thanks!!

That's strange. Unless your burner is 3.5years old, those 80min cd's should show up. Now whether or not you'll be able to successfully burn them is another game.

Could be a firmware update away........

Nah, its only 10 months old...

My parent's Dell has a LG/Goldstar in it, and I've used it lots of times with no problems.
I'd guess it's the CDs you're using.

Mr. Data
And...don't remember, sorry. Some Maxwell CD-RW's, I think.

I use my 12x Teac now, so it's been a while.

Damn! I don't feel like buying more CD-Rs...I got too many right now...
What burning program are you/your parents using that reads 700mb??

Does anyone else got any suggestions??

Whoohoo!!
I finally got it to work with Nero!!! Damn! I wonder why I got rid of it the first time! And why ez creater and especially CDRwin won't recognize the 700mb cdr.

I don't know. Nero rocks though, so you can stick with that and be happy (once you get to know it).
