| spanning files across cd's
Seems to me writing a single large file to more than 1 cd wasn't very reliable a few years ago. I haven't tried it yet. I have, I believe Ashampoo 8, Nero 6, maybe others to burn with and a few files from 1-4 GB in .rar .wmv or whatever format. Is this still problematic or a thing of the past?
I don't want to upgrade the CDRW yet. Thanks. |

| The newer versions of WinRar will let you set the archive size to CD (692Mb I think is what it uses) So if you fed it a 1500Mb file, it would split it into 2 files of 692, and one of 116Mb. You then burn 1 file to each CD.

Sorry. The above should have been DVDRW--- not CDRW.
Is this it? It seems like such a simple task, to span cd's. Run out of room, move on to the next. All burning programs should do this. I'll check winrar. |

| Same thing, just select the DVDR option from the "split files" list. I think in the more recent versions the default options are floppy, zip (100Mb), CD, DVD, DVD-DL. Or you can specify any size you want.
