Save a 4 GIG file to DvDR ??

**Shamus MacNoob** · February 11th, 2004

I would like to know if there is a way to burn a large file to a dvdr with a cd-burner and if so what application should I look for and how good will the results be??

Thanks in advance

No, no possible way for an ordinary CD-RW to write to DVD-R type media. It doesnt understand the format and wont burn to it.
