650 MB CD's

[tobyoftheapes]

Hello, i just went out and bought some new CDRW's, when i got home i noticed that they were 650 MB as opposed to the last ones i had which were 700 MB, i know that you can copy larger games onto the 700 MB CD's will this also work with 650 MB disks? For instance, i am trying to back up my copy of warcraft III (about 750 MB) can i burn this on a 650 MB disk? Thanks for your help!

The image you created is 750Mb, but when you burn it to a CD-R it will be less. Although a lot of games use the full 700Mb so you are best buying some 700Mb CD-R's (they are actually more common than 650Mb cd's now). If however, you are looking for 700Mb CD-RW's then these are less common (but are still out there somewhere).

BTW: If you created the image with Clone CD, then try burning it with the 650Mb disk - CCD will warn you if there is not enough room on the disk and you can safely cancel.
