tiggerlou Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Hello!Yesterday I believe I read something on this forum that said that I could reformat old style, non Hi-MD discs so they can hold 1GB --essentially becoming Hi-MD discs. Or was I dreaming? I have been trying really hard searching by every term I could think of to find that post, but I can't track it down. So what's the story? If I use non-Hi-MD discs on a Hi-MD machine, how much can they hold? Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I want to know is, when I format it as a Hi-MD blank then can it hold as much data as a Hi-MD blank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazer78 Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 (edited) Understood. What I want to know is, when I format it as a Hi-MD blank then can it hold as much data as a Hi-MD blank?No it will not. You get roughly 305mb when a standard MD is formatted into a Hi-MD Disc.All of this info is on the minidisc.org page, you just need to read up on it.

I just thought I'd seen it on the forum discussions.In HiMD mode , recording in HiLP , you can put 9 hours+ on one disc . ........... that really kills the workplace radio doesn't it !!!

RHAPSODY1 Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 (edited) Hey guys,I don't mean to hijack this thread, and I do apologize for breaking in, but I am having a problem with re-formatting and was hoping you could help me. I think it's along the same lines as what you are all discussing.Once I've recorded something on my Net MD player, I use my MZ-RH1 to check it in, using SS 3.4. What I can't seem to do is re-format the disc so I can once again use it on my Net Md recorder. Each time I erase it, or format it, I can't even get the Net Md to recognize it. I get a TR Protect message and it tells me that there are two track listings with a total of 80:02 on the disc. I know I am doing something wrong, and I've read the earlier site mentioned on this thread, but could someone steer me in the right direction?Thanks for any help you guys can offer.The technically inept,Kat EDIT: Never mind, I did some button pressing and the matter solved itself. Thank anyway!! Edited April 26, 2008 by RHAPSODY1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1951 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Thanks for asking that question tiggerlou. The ability to re-format standard MD discs with the Hi-MD was something I'd read about and then forgotten again until now.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
