How to check if a cd is 99 min

[nocam1334]

Hi everybody.

I think I may have gotten screwed. I bought some cds that were supposed to be 99 min cdr's, but when I put it Nero and click on disc info, it says it is 700MB. Please tell me this is wrong, or if there is another way to check.

Thanks

I believe this proggy called CDR Identifier will give you all the info you need on your CD-R. http://www.gum.de/it/download/
I seen it on this site.
I haven't used it yet, but I'm planning on downloading it myself...after you read that article you will know why...hope that helps

The CD itself may only report that it has a total capacity of 80min (this is common).

However, you can safely burn up to the capacity (assuming your drive can do it).

Technically, burning anything over 80min is by definition "overburning" but you can be pretty sure that the discs will actually hold the stated capacity.

Regards.
