jaclaz Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Hmmm, and AFAIK the resulting CD will ONLY be readable on the same drive or on another identical one.......an entire new meaning to the word "portability"...jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdob Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Feature is called GigaRec. This was introduced at Plextor Premium, a CD writer.Later true Plextor drives support GigaRec too. Remember Plextor dosn't manufactur drives anymore. Today that's OEM drives with a Plextor label.Have a look for GigaRec at product manual.Most drives should read GigaRec factor 1.2 (read 840mb data at 700mb media).Of course reading is not guaranteed.I'm using 'cdrecord driveropts=gigarec=1.2'A average drive dosn't read GigaRec factor 1.4 (980mb data at 700mb media).The same drive or on another identical one is required.
