PHILIPSCD-R 800 MB Data (Gbyte/90 Minuten, Multi Speed Recording 25er

Great CDs that truely have the extra space when you overburn. Not a bad price and good for music or games

Records and Plays Back from my PolyGram and UMG&C Customized Label Records Like Polydor, Mercury, Casablanca Records and Filmworks Like Village People "Y.M.C.A. (Disco Mix) [12" Mix] and Macho Man" 12" Single 1-Sided Vinyl of1978Motown Rockwell "Somebody's Watching Me" (Vocal and Instrumental Versions) of 1983

Great to be able to make archive copy of almost all pressed CDs, allowing 90 minutes/800 MB. Too bad they aren't printable and blank.

I purchased these blanks to maximize the number of MP3s I could fit on a single CD for my VW's stereo. I created a 790MB image using UltraISO, but that program does not even attempt overburns (seeing these discs as having only 700MB capacity). So then I downloaded a free program called ImgBurn (v2.5.8.0) and that program saw the same size discrepancy as UltraISO but gives the option to either overburn or truncate the image. ImgBurn then successfully overburned the 790MB CD (at 8x speed using a Lite-On burner), and now I have over 200 songs on a single CD, and my car stereo plays them in random order. There are very few brands of these high capacity blank discs, and I chose Philips because they were one of the original companies that set the international standards for all CDs, but you'll need software that supports overburning to take advantage of the extra capacity.

I STILL USE IT I LOVE IT

These discs really do hold 800 MB or 90 minutes of audio. A CD-R cannot identify itself as larger than 80 minutes due to a limitation in the ATIP structure, so these will appear to be 80 minute discs when inserted into a CD burner. To get the extra capacity you need a CD burner and software that supports overburning (I used a LiteOn iHAS524 B, and K3B with cdrtools, but any recent drive and any software supporting overburning should work). Once recorded, they can be played back like a normal disc. Unlike 99 minute discs, these discs work in my car CD player (2009 Honda Civic).

DISLIKE…. I bought these 90 minute CDs to record my college 90 minute tapes that I made. Bought a great cd recorder as well. I was really surprised when the disc was full before 90 minutes recording.. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. After going to small print information on the web, I found out the 90 minute CDs need computer modification, they WILL NOT WORK with a standard CD recorder.SAVE YOUR MONEY, BUY 80 minute CDs. Hey.

These Cds have a higher capacity than most due. I record these for my good friend. Thanks
