Can portable flash card burners burn RAW files?


I'm searching for a portable compact flash to cd or dvd burner that is compatable with Canon RAW files. I've been researching many of the current portable burners like the Apacer Disc Steno or the Kanguru FC-RW but there is never any mention if these devices can burn RAW files, only JPG. Does anyone know if portable CD/DVD burners can burn RAW? If so, how many RAW files can be burned on a single CD or DVD? All help is appreciated. Thanks.

  The answer is yes you can burn Raw files plus any other types of data such as an MP3. A CD typically has room for 700 megabytes. A DVD holds 4700 megabytes. Considering that a RAW file can be beween 4 megabytes and 25 megabytes? it means you can store a lot of images.
