Playing 99min overburnt VCD's?

[Lambchop]

Has anyone tried burning a 99min VCD using overburning, and if so are there any problems with playing these in a standalone DVD player?
Thanks

Well you really cant overburn to 99 mins. you'll never be able to overburn a 90 min cdr that much and if your using 99 min media then no overburn required, plus I don't think there is a single burner out that could burn more than 99 mins anyway.

My burner can only burn 89 mins total so I just use 90 min media and they play fine on my standalone dvd player. You need to either do the research or just try it yourself to see how much your burner can burn. As far as compatibility with dvd players again you will have to see for yourself. Many dvd players will not be able to play any media higher than 80 mins.

I have the QPS 24x10x40(Sanyo BP1500) and can burn 93 minutes of a 99 minute disc...
My Apex 5131 has no problem playing my SVCDs to the end.

the liteon 24 speed writer can overburn to 99mins audio time...dunno if it does the same for vcd?

My LG-CED8080 can burn up to 99:00 fine. It's just *not* compatible with most the stuff I try it on (DVD Player, Audio CD Player...). But those same DVD Players and Audio CD Players *IS* compatible when I burn up to 89:59. I use 99min CDRs to test with. Also, anything over 74:00 is considered an overburn (based on the "book" standards). Then again, in today's time, anything over 80min is considered an overburn in any CDR Recording Program.

by "book" standards are you referring to whitebook standards? If so that is irrelavent. The vcd standard has nothing to do with overburning. Anything over 74 mins is not considered overburning by any standards.

The term overburning refers to burning through the part of the cdr dedicated for the TOC, thus allowing you to fit in slighly more data than what the media is rated at.

It doesnt matter what size media you are using or how much total data you are using or what burning program you are using. Unless you are physically using the TOC desiginated area of the disk for your data than you are not overburning.

If you burn 99 mins on a 99 min cdr than you are not overburning you are just using high capacity media.

I think Orange Book (?Part II) have now included 80min media in the standard so burning anything up to 80min is not overburning.

I don't know for sure, but I believe that all 90 and 99min media report themselves only as 80min media. Thus, in a sense, you are overburning when you use them to burn > 80 minute. Of course, it is a "safe" form of overburning in that data integrity is ensured.

Ok I know I'm being picky here but the definition of overburning specifically states it is the process of burning more data onto the media that what it is rated at, regardless of how much data you are burning total.

If orange book standards or your burning program don't recognize that you are using higher capacity media then that means you are using non-standard and non-supported media, in which case rules need not apply.

The only reason burning programs tell you that anything over 80 mins is an overburn is because they assume you are using no higher than 80 min media. Since your media is not confined to 80 mins, you are not overburning.
