Introduction
How Much Data Can I Fit on a Disc?
The actual capacity of blank discs can vary slightly. For example,
some 74-minute CDs may hold up to two minutes more than their
stated capacity. Easy CD Creator lets you record as much data or
music as the disc can hold. Here are the typical capacities of cur-
rently available media:
■ Blank CD-R discs: Available in two capacities: 650 MB
(74-minute) and 700 MB (80-minute).
■ Blank CD-RW discs: Available in a 650 MB (74-minute)
capacity.
■ Blank mini CD-R discs: Available in a 180 MB (21-minute)
capacity.
Supported Formats
Easy CD Creator supports the creation of the following CD-R/RW
formats which are used to make data and audio CDs:
■ CD-ROM Data CDs: This is the standard for recording data
CDs.
■ CD-ROM XA Data CDs: XA stands for Extended Architecture.
CD-ROM XA is based on CD-ROM but adds better audio and
video capabilities so CD-ROMs can more easily be used for
multimedia applications.
■ CD-DA Audio CDs: Compact Disc-Digital Audio. This is the
original compact disc standard and is used to record music
CDs.
