Burn 800MB data to 700 MB CD

ometimes, due to some problems while ripping, rippers are not able to get the perfect "700 MB" Filesize, Which unables you to write the DivX/XviD file to a normal CD-R to enjoy it on your DivX player.

This guide will demonstrate, how we can successfully overcome this problem and write files of size up to 800 MB, into a normal 700 MB CD-R

How ?? : The idea is certainly fascinating. Despite DVD-R becoming more and more affordable regular CD-Rs are still the storage media of choice for most of us. As you may know, both VCD and SVCD can actually contain 800MB of movie data on a regular 700MB data disc. Why? Error correction is the keyword. Regular computer data CDs contain a lot of error protection, so your data won't get lost if you have some scratches on a CD. But the data on the CD itself has no error correction. If you start swapping bits in an executable file you have on a CD the file will no longer work. On the other hand, VCD and SVCD stream have some built-in protection so an additional protection on the data storage medium is no longer needed, which frees up space otherwise used for error correction. Those of you who have had a closer look at their burning program may have noticed that (S)VCDs are burned in mode2 whereas regular data CDs are burned in mode1.
