New at the ps2 backup

[dallas22]

Just backed up a game but the game is longer than the 80 min disc. I used clone cd. Any suggestions.

It can't be. The file size on hard disk is irrelevant. When it goes back to CD-R it comes out the right size. it is larger on hard disk because it contains all the indexing type info for ConeCD to use when reconstituting the contents.

Final image will be 80-90% smaller--it gets written in mode2 format. I won't get all technical, but it crams on averag about 200k more data in each sector than in mode 1--which is the format the disc's marketed capacity is based on. A 700MB disk can get up to about 790MB on a full Mode2/Form2 burn. That's how you can cram 1hr 20 minutes of DVD video on a single CD (if you don't mind a little loss of resolution and slight blurring)or more if your wiling to sacrifice audio quality.

Remember--the source CD is just that...a CD. So it will fit. The only reason it won't is if it is a DVD. That is a completely different story.

Good Luck!
