Cool Edit - 80min/700MB files

[Just Allan]

Hi all... I time-stretched (shrank) an 82 minute sound file with Cool
Edit yesterday, so it would fit on an 80 minute CD. While the time is
now correct, the file size is 797MB!? I'm assuming since 80 minute
CD-Rs also show 700MB, that it's not going to fit. And if 80 minutes
*is* = to 700MB, how can the time be correct but file size too large?

(What did I do wrong and can I fix it?)

Thanks for reading...

Allan.

I wonder if you've managed to keep the number of samples the same and
altered the sample rate ?


Cheers, J/.

Audio CDs have less additional error correction than data CDs. What
this means is that you can fit 700MB (+ associated error correction
data) onto the CD if you write is as a data format CD. But if you
write it as an audio format CD, you can fit 80 mins of audio (which is
about 807MB).

You did nothing wrong, and don't need to fix it. Just write the CD in
audio format and you should be fine.
