How to burn big files on a cd

Wed Sep 29, 2004 2:50 pm

I downloaded a big, 760 mb video... And I want to burn it in some cd... But it's too big for the cd (nearly 700 mb)...

Any of you guys know any programs/softwares that allow me to partition the file, or do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance. (Y)

hmmm, a friend has a program that allows you to make the file smaller whislt retaining the same quality. I don't see him often though but maybe someone else can help out. I'm sure it can be done

If your using Nero, just overburn the CD.

:arrow: Open the main "Nero Burning Rom(not Smartstart)
:arrow: Goto file then "Preferences" then "Expert Features"
:arrow: Tick the "enable overburn disc-at-once"
:arrow: Change "Max CD Size" to 82 mins

Now you SHOULD be able to overburn upto 800mb on a 700mb size CD.

Alternatively if you have any problems you could always write a cue file, but that would mean you would have to convert you file to a disc image and that just a lot of fucking about.

Re-encoding the video is not the best idea, as you ALWAYS lose some quality and its such a lengthy process.

There are lots of programs out there that will allow you to split a video file, however on a large file like that its not advisable as all sorts can go wrong, normaly its with the audio and its all purly down to the amount of video/audio codecs in use today.
