Not sure if the right subsection, but here is the problem:

I want to burn and AVI file in reverse on the CD.. so that the beginning of the file is in the OUTTER part of the CD and the end of the file is in the INNER section of the CD... any ideas how that could be done??

I'm probably going to get more people asking why I need it... oh well.. cuz the outside of the CD reads much faster than the inside ofthe CD.. also it gets damaged more often, and if the AVI index which is located at end of AVI file gets damaged the whole file is lost..

thnx

You cant.

You could pad the disc with a big file so that your avi is written on the outer edge but you cant write the actual file backwards. The start of the file always has a lower LBA start point than the end of the file.
