How to burn CD in DOS? 2 GB limit ? DVD crap ... (Users)

> It may help if you burn at low speed, and verifying the data after burning
I always burn medias with lower speed than maximum, usualy 1/4 of rated max. speed. I'm not CD factory so don't need to hurry. Then I always check if media is fully readable after burn.
Some medias I tested 3-times from burning and they looked fine, no errors but it messed up this year. I hold CDs in boxes in room temperature ~20C in the dark so I think I cannot do it better. I only cannot defend against polution of air which may oxide/sulfide silver reflection layer (gold layer is very rare nowdays). BTW my oldest medium is TDK Gold 74 min. from 1997 which is still perfectly readable. So you can see that lifetime depends mostly on media quality. That times CD-R was quite expansive, about 10e per one. Then it came to mass production and now I got them for 1/3e so it can be expected lower quality for lower price :(

> P.S. FAT32 has 4 GB for a single filesize limit, no?
Hm, maybe I mixed it with filesize limitation under Win9x on FAT32, I didn't tried under MS/FreeDOS. Anyway CD images maybe up to 4.7G or 9.5G.
