Andrewski Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Which program would y'all recommend to burn CD-RWs for multiple? I'm moving on 10, but since the final will be coming out so soon, I'd rather not make 3 soon-to-be coasters... I've used k3b before, but I don't have KDE on my system anymore. I've also (briefly) tried xcdroast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinkliberty Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 I have found that eroaster is the best, I use it to burn all my CDs, I don't think I have ever made a coaster with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Well, k3b would be my first choice, but xcdroast would be my second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthur Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 where'd you get 700-mb CDRWs? I can't find any, can you tell which brands make them? All the ISOs are about 695 megs :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris z Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 where'd you get 700-mb CDRWs? I can't find any, can you tell which brands make them? All the ISOs are about 695 megs. hmmmm.......i don't know where you are or where you shop, but 700 meg CDRW's can be found most anywhere. at least i can get them everywhere here in Pennsylvania, USA. any of the major computer supply chains, KMarts & WallMarts, Radio Shack, record stores, etc. they all have them. as for the CD burning app question, if you don't have K3B at your disposal, i'd go with XCDRoast. it does ISO's quite nicely. just choose "create cd/dvd", "master tracks", uncheck "display directories only", select your ISO image(s), set any options you want, "write tracks". you can also create your own ISO's via the same controls.

Sarissi Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 RW or R?????? Why waste money on RWs to burn ROMS. CD-Rs are cheaper, and are made for that purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthurking Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 I used to "waste" money on CD-R's too to burn copies of distro's that I'm never going to re-load. I have 3 perfectly good CD-RW's with 10rc1 on them at the moment, that will get erased to make way for mdk10official :D CD-R's are good for making backup copies of music to listen to in the car. I haven't seen a CD-R(W) of less than 700M for a very long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewski Posted March 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Yeah, Sarissi, what he said. Why let the stack of old Mandrake copies grow when I can just copy over them for the new version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarissi Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Gee, I thought if you burned an image to RW, it was nothing more than a CD-ROM after that. My formatted CDRWs have a capacity of 530 MB, and those are 10X RWs (not the old 4X). Then again, these were formatted under UDF 1.5 format with InCD that came with Nero 5.5.

aRTee Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Don't use UDF. Btw if you set up k3b to burn, it will indicate that your rw is not empty and propose to erase it for you. Works fine. RW discs do not turn into coasters unless you physically damage them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris z Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 i've never had problems using cdrw's for data, either. you generally don't wanna use them for music 'cause most cd players won't read them. and, on the rare occasion you can run into a cdrom that will have problems reading them. (usually an older one) but, it's rare........ and, as for capacity limits, both k3b & xcdroast have a place in the settings/options where you can set the size (capacity) of the burning medium. k3b defaults to 650megs, but you just need to set it to 700megs & apply the setting for future use.
