storage requirements and usage

I'm confused. I create a CD-R image. I "burn" my audio files to it and yet when I look in Explorer, I see a file sized for the CD-R and then individual files for each of the tracks that I burnt i.e.

CD-R.000 720Kbytes
CD-R.010 38.8Kbytes
CD-R.020 41.9Kbytes
etc etc

So it looks like it is using/allocation 720K bytes but then using further storage that is "outside" the allocated memory for the CD-R? Why isn't it just stuffing the audio files into the original CD-R.000?

I am expecting to see just the one file - CD-R.000 not the others. I am certainly not expecting to use up 720K and then another 720K for the actual data! (which is how this appears).

I haven't tried a DVD yet, but I will...

Am I doing something wrong? What's happening here?

Thanks

Am I doing something wrong when I create the CD-R?

Storage requirements and usage

The creation of a virtual audio CD creates as many data files (*.000 to *.XXX) as audio files burnt to the CD-R. This is for technical reasons.
I could not reproduce that there is a 000 file with the whole size of the CD-R and additionally the other data files with exactly the same size again. The 000 file is always the first audio file.
