Suggestion to a "dvd players" addition

I don't know, perhaps people have been talking about this before, but in the DVD players section (which is really good), why not add information about wether the player can play 90/99 min cd-r's?

I'm sure other people know, but unfortunately, I don't know anything about them.. I've never tried 90 mins cdr-s.

I'm thinking about buying like one piece, but I'm not sure where to get them (I live in Sweden)..

I have not found much on the net about this, but this is by far one of the best sites detailing the burners that support these garguantian CDs.

Good though that site is it doesn't tell you which standalone dvd players will play them propery.

I realize that, but was just offering the info as it is the best place for overburned CDs that I have found. (For the buring side of it, not the playing side).

BTW, this is the more correct link to use http://www.disc4you.com/news/99min.html

One thing to note is that most of these overburned CDs will only work on the drives listed in the link above. My drive, the Mitsumi CR-48X5TE (listed as 4805 / FW > 1.5A on that link) works great, but when I try to transfer a CD with over 90 minutes to a DVD or CD-Rom it simply can not be seen.

It is for this reason that I see creating this section to not be worth the time. That is unless set top DVD players are more advanced then most DVD-Rom and CD-Rom drives I have come across.
