Can you overburn a DVD-r

[Jengiz]

Hi

I just created a dvd and the total amount of data I want to put on the disc is 4489mb and Nero tells me that my blank dvd-r can hold 4488mb !!!!! Which is soooo annoying as I am only 1mb over . So instead of having to do all of the encoding again with slightly smaller bit rates, is there anyway of overburning the dvd-r so that I can fit on th extra mb?
I have looked in nero, but cant seem to find a way, so is there any way or any other software that can do this?


Thanx

well are they dvd files? if so why not just encode that last vob file.

1MB of overburning shouldn't have any bad effect on the output.

I think you could do a little overburn using RecordNow Max.

You can use DVD2One to resize the DVD. The latest version is able to do 1:1 (and movie only if you wish).

Depends on your media. Cheap DVDR's have problems at the very end (last 5%?). So, the odds are not in your favor, but you can try it, it's only a coaster. By the way, if the movie ends in credits, so what, you really want to know who the key grip was?

Hmm, I may need some correction here but I thought overburning was impossible on DVD-R. The reason why it worked on CD-R was of the last part that contained nothing but zero's (or was it one's ? :icon7: ). Anyway I thought this last part did not exist on DVD-R and because of that you could not overburn. But I might be wrong... and if I am, please correct me.

I didn't think you could overburn a DVD-R(W) either.
