I have a few Xbox iso's and I do not know if they are for CDR or DVDR, it is pretty close, but do Xbox iso's go by the length (minutes:seconds) like PS2 and [i believe] dreamcast or by data (MB)?
Thanks

err..what program you use to check minutes:seconds? do you put it in you audio player or something? If you got an ISO image in PC and you wanna chech for its size, then just right click on the image and select Properties and it should tell you the size there. Under 700mb will fit cd and anything over must use dvd. though you can still burn say 400mb game iso to a DVD.

all games are read under data, not play time. ps2 cd games appear in minutes because it reads the bin or data file as one, and since most disks are only 80mins it usually estimates how many mins are used in mb's.

ok, do you know the absolute maximum that a 700MB cdr can hold? and how much i can overburn on a 700MB cdr?
Thanks
