Probably a silly question but here goes - I bought some CD's marked 870MB 'cos I wanted to download some movies that were longer than the normal 700MB.

But when I load them only 700MB shows up as free / recordable space.

Do I need to change some setting somewhere for the computer / cd writer to recognise them or my personal idea is that they are 'fake' discs and I just paid extra for no more memory!

Thanks

To the best of my knowledge, I only know of 700mb max cd's.

Okay - Google does work
Still not there yet tho' - obviously need to do some more reading - maybe I'll just stick with shorter movies....

Just set your copy program for "overburn" and it should be able to reach 870mb.
