Source Track Length (in Mbyte) compared
to Free Disc Space on CD-R
The amount of drive space source tracks occupy on the
VS-1680 may not be the same amount of disc space it
occupies on a CD-R disc. The track size on the VS-1680
varies depending on the number of tracks and recording
mode used. You can make a rough estimate of the space
required on a CD-R disc for a tracks to be written by
using the following calculation:
Source track length (in seconds) x 2 (bytes) x 2 (stereo
tracks) x 44,100 = SIZE (bytes)
For example, a source track that is 60 minutes long (3,600
seconds) occupies:
3,600 x 2 x 2 x 44,1000 = 635,040,000 bytes = 635 MB
