  Different Megabytes by ideur 2003-04-24 04:14:50
Everybody counts them different!

Correct: 1024*1024 Bytes = 1048579Bytes
For Sales: 1000*1000 Bytes = 1000000Bytes
Some others: 1000*1024 Bytes = 1024000Bytes

Now for your CD-R:
Asuming you have 80 minutes = 4800 seconds = 360000 sectors (with each 2048 DataBytes):
that is 737280000 Bytes
according to 1) 703.125 MB
according to 2) 737.280 MB
according tp 3) 720.000 MB

Each one of them claims to be the only correct version!
