burning a 775mb image file

[Red96TA]

This seemed the most appropriate place for this post...sorry if it's in the wrong place.

I got my hands on three image files, but they are in the neighborhood of 775mb each...even with overburning (which my Pioneer 105 doesn't support anyway) there is NO way that that image is going to fit on a 700mb disk...

What are my options here?

800mb disk? Where can I get these locally....Best Buy, Circuit City?

Thanks again.

I've burned 775mb on 700mb CD-R's. I Used NERO and check off Overburn then burn at the absolute slowest speed. I had a Lite-on though. I was burning VCDs and they even played in stand alone DVD players.

Here's 800mb disc

808,

I've tried that method, but the Pioneer doesn't want to cooperate....anything else?

I burn SVCD 800MB image files all the time with Nero in 'image' mode using 80 minute, 700MB CD media. The reason to use image files is that they don't put error checking and a lot of other stuff that takes up space on the CD. I don't use overburn.

EDIT: I should say I burn CUE/BIN files from DVD2SVCD as image files in Nero. I am not sure that is strickly an 'image' file.

If it is something like an mpeg file, just extract the thing back to mpeg. Then make a new vcd or svcd project and drag the mpeg over to burn it the regular way. It should fit when burned as mode 2. Alternative is get a cheap external CDRW drive for those time when you need to overburn. And you thought you only needed that one drive didn't you? Walmart carries some Samsung drives with an 8MB buffer that really seem to kick @$$, I burn in mine at 40-48x all the time across firewire, you'll just have to get an external enclosure for it.
