Last reply March 2005 oh well...

Has anyone noticed when you "optimize" the CD, whatever tool you
use is not important here - it does nt actually optimize it 100%?

Example - I noticed adding one OS to the CD adds about 1.5Mb
and I think this has to be because, say if your OS has 5000 files in it
then you add another OS thats identical in every way, in theory it
should optimize it to eactly the size of one OS but it doesn't! It will
be about 1.5Mb bigger, I guess its storing 5000 paths to 5000 files
and this is what takes up some space, the 5000 paths?

Do any of these work for DVD? I downloaded the ZIp files of all the discs from The Fifth Imperium. There are large numbers of duplicates among all the discs. (Five copies of 1632 and EIGHT copies of 1633, also many copies of several of the Honor Harrington series.) I'm pretty certain there's enough redundancy to be able to pack the nearly 6 gigs of files, even including "The Spider CD" and Gutenberg SF CD- which have no duplication, onto a single layer DVD-R.

This would certainly be easier than re-writing the HTML for each disc to point to the same copies of the files and manually removing the duplicates. It'd also completely preserve each disc's files should I want to later copy them to individual discs. (The ZIP files were all packed small enough to fit on one DVD-RW.)

I didn't know Nero had this feature? How the heck do I use it? I have the final version of Nero 7.
