    What Did I Do Wrong in CD Bit-density Calculation?

    I am at the library and it's closing. Thanks for your help, I'll check back tomorrow.

    What Did I Do Wrong in CD Bit-density Calculation?

    If I take it so each dot and dash is one bit, and with the above corrections and advice, I still only get 269.55MB. That's a lot better, but I'm wondering if I have the right bit idea. Do you know if each "dot" and "dash" hole in my AFM pic counts for one bit each? I thought so, but read...

    What Did I Do Wrong in CD Bit-density Calculation?

    Yes, thank you, that was a mistake. Still though, when I run the numbers with that correction I still only get 2.15641MB. I thought CDs were supposed to have 650MB? So, I think I'm way-off still.

    What Did I Do Wrong in CD Bit-density Calculation?

    We took AFM images of a CD in lab. Manual counting provided that there were 224 bits in the 900µm^2 image I have. Based on this I want to determine the bit-density of the whole CD. The total active area for the disc is the total area minus the inner inactive are of the disc. The total area...
