Hi there,
I was wondering if someone could help me out with a little question.
I have a IBM Aptiva 2194 with a TEAC CDW54E CD-RW Drive and have Adaptec Easy CD Creator Version3.5c.
My question is this..........When I put a 700mb blank disc in and have alook at the properties of the bank disc ,it says 0 bytes used 648 MB free......
Where are the other 52 MB?????????????.
Also I have a MPEG that when I look at it's properties it says
SIZE 650MB ( 682,376,396 bytes used).
Should not the byte size read 650,000,000 bytes ????
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
OH yeah........almost forgot ,
At one stage I did have Clonecd and ClonyXXL installed ,whether or not that has mucked something up I don't know.
Many thanks in advance

1MB=1024KB 1KB = 1024B
so 650MB=681,574,400bytes.

I don't know about your 80min CDR problem though.. maybe Easy CD 3.5c doesn't support them.
