A 700 mb CDr has two sizes. 80 minutes, and 700mb. Only time minutes is important is audio images. I often burn way over 800 mb's of wav's to a CDr, but the time needs to be just under 80 minutes of playing time to make the CDr stable on cheap junk CD players. Movies OTOH don't go by minutes, they need to fit 'data wise' in MB's on a CDr. Guess I'll just keep re-encoding the 'too big' ones ;) -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas
