Vinux burning problems

[Kerry Hoath]

Actually Vinux only uses speakup at the console, it uses espeak and orca 
to allow the GUI to talk.
You will get better support of Vinux on the Vinux list, as they know 
about the specifics of the system better than most of those on this list do.

cds are measured in either megabytes and or minutes. 700,000,000 bytes 
is an 80-minute cd which is to say it holds 80 minutes of audio or 700 
megs of data.
74-minute cds hold 650 megabytes of data.
The actual capacity of the disk is best measured in the number of frames 
or sectors. 74-minute disks have 325000 2048 byte sectors, whilst 80 
minute blanks hold at least 333,000 2048 byte sectors.

Data uses 2048 byte sectors with more ECC than audio which uses 2352 
byte sectors hence the difference in audio or data storage.

You can get 90-minute blanks but they are rare.
Regards, Kerry.
