Default No such thing....


To date there are only up to 80 Minute (~700MB) CDR's on the market. Normal CDR's are 74min (~650MB) and to use the 80min CDR's you need software and a burner that support "overburning."

There is no physical way to get 1GB on a normal CDR that can be read by "standard" CD-ROM drives.

You may have seen some MO (Magneto-Optical) or PD (Phase Differential) drives that do 1GB and look much like a CDR

Default Re: 1GB CD-ROM ...

There is no such thing as 1GB CD-ROM disk. CD-ROM currently holds around 650MB. A DVD hold 4.7GB.

The format Dreamcast uses, GD-ROM, can hold 1GB. But it is a proprietary format from Sega ... that means no more pirated games.
