Does My CD-Writer Support Overburn

[zork152]

Hi,

I have a HP 9300, it burns up to 10X.

I cant burn a 79 min SVCD thats about 795 MB. I enabled overburn to 82 min, but still no luck. Anyone had a similar problem with this CD writer. how can I tell my CD writer supports overburn. How can I burn this SVCD.

Best way to see if your player can overburn (an to what degree on any particular media)...

Make say 90minutes of audio as one wav file.

Use your favourite burning proggy to make an audio CD with this file. Make sure the program supports overburning and disc-at-once burning. You'll probably get a warning that the prospective CD is way too big for the media but ignore it.

The CD will burn until it fails.

However, as it is burnt in DAO mode, the TOC is already there so the CD will play.

Then, play your audio-CD on a CD player and watch when the audio stops. The point where it stops is how far your CD burner / CD media combination can overburn to.

Regards.

BTW, you can burn up to about 795 MB of MPEG data onto a S/VCD without overburning so make sure you are choosing the right settings...

The chart on http://www.feurio.com/English/Writerdb/frame_list_all.html
say the 9300i can burn up to 80 min but you can't burn from 81-99
dump that HP drive and put in the Lite-on 16102B which would do a better
job regarding overburning... Sorry
