I don't care what the source material is, six hour discs are not the way to go. I generally make my discs between SP and LP (3 hours), unless a trader requests otherwise.

All discs (except for RAM) are 4.7GB. It's not the discs but the amount of compression you use that determines how much recording time you get.

I agree with Nanny except to say that I don't use anything less than 2.5 hour speed. But why don't you try using the higher compression modes on your machine and see what you think of the quality?

Sorry, meant to say I agree with Agent 13.
