Blank CDs over 80 minutes
Posted: Wed Jan 15, 2003 9:30 pm
I am trying to figure out the technological relevance of 90 minute and 99 minute blank CD-R discs. I don't know where to find them for sale, and once I do, I am skeptical that a CD player would even be able to read 99 minutes worth of music on such a disc. I just bought the Yamaha CRW-F1, among many other reasons/features, because it recognizes and records on the longer blank CD media. I know this can be helpful when employing Yamaha's Audio Master technology or in saving space for its DiscT@2 graphics on the backside of a disc. Where exactly does the current burner technology stand on these 90 and 99 minute CD-Rs, and how do you think they will integrate this longer blank media into their burner systems? Do many burners and/or their software even recognize any CDs over 80 minutes/700 mb yet?
I would certainly love to be able to make 99 minute music CDs or comparable data discs.
Thanks for your insight -- this subject has been bugging me for a while.
