90 minute 866 mb CDRs?

[thepete]

I've just noticed that these exist, but they're not available at my local Best Buy just yet and some of the dealers aren't entirely reputable looking. Anyone have any experience with these new CDs? I may buy a ten pack just to test... any advice would be welcome! Thanks!

take a look at the CD-Writers list ( http://www.vcdhelp.com/cdwriters.php ) and see if your burner supports 90min discs before you go an buy them.

I just purchaced some in Australia at my local shop, they are Akai 800mb/90min. They were AU $4.99 (about US$2.70)for 4 in a nice looking box, they were cheaper than the the Akai 80min CDR's by 5c per disc (and they just had a shi**y hard plastic box). Let you know how I go burning a SVCD on them as soon as I can sort out some capture / conversion issues.

PS he did mention they were hard to get and couldn't guarantee a continual supply, but to all the Aussies who've had dealings with Strathfield car radio, you know how their sales tecnique is.

Cool, thanks for both of you guys for replying. I'll check out the list and look forward to hearing how the SVCD goes! Good luck with that!

Thanks for the link! Unfortunately, I can't confirm that my drive supports the larger discs. I don't even have Nero becuase it doesn't support my drive. I guess I wish I could just find a five pack... still curious how the results are though... not that it'll hold me back from testing it myself if I find a good price.

If you have a CompUSA nearby, they have 99min CDs. 16 for $10. They come with the slim jewel cases. They weren't located with the rest of the CDR media when I got mine, were on a shelf with some other stuff.

I had to order the 850megs off compusa's web site, the store had 0 inventory, 0 ordered? The sku# is 282323, hopefully I get them, nice to squeeze 85-90min on a cd

If Nero doesn't support your drive, don't even dream of burning 90 min CDs! Burning 90 min CDs requires the burner to be capable of overburning, and Nero is one of the few burning programs allowing to overburn. Furthermore, Nero supports almost all modern CDRW drives, so if your drive isn't supported it's really time to buy a new one.

These 99 min infinity discs are good and they have a burner compatability list.

I've actually used the Compusa 99min. cdr's for audio for quite a while now and only started using them for video late 2001 but they seem to work good.

My first 2 burns were coasters though using Easy CD but then i changed my burning procedure. I create the Image files first then I burn the cd usually using disk-at-once. It works even after they added the software update to v5.1xxx. Since then i can fit "slightly" over 90 min. of White-book standard vcd formatted movies on one CDR.

For the record i can create large format cd's using the overburning selection with Nero but after a few inconsistent tries, I decided that while using large format cdr's, I am more comfortable using the Roxio software without specifying an "overburn" option. I really didn't want to experiment too much with my Ricoh dvd-cdr/w. I need it and would have to default back to a slower and less reliable older scsi model if i lose it.
