870MB CD's

[Cyberdood]

Hi

I have a870MB CDR disk. I managed a few weeks to go to burn a vcd disk sucessfully (with a little bit of overburn also).

I am currently trying to use a 870 to burn a data disk. But every time i put Nero (5510) into Simulate mode it consistatly tells me there is not enough disk space on the disk. Even tho I only want to burn 800MB of data. That should leave me with a good 70mb.

Could any one advise me on Nero's best settings please?

Thanks

Did you set Nero to "allow overburn" and set the max size to match your CD? Oversized CDs still register as 80-minute discs, so you have to tell the software to overburn even if you're burning less than the stated capacity.

Over burning would have to be enabled

To make like a little easier. I have taken a screenshot of my Nero settings

Hope this sheds a little more light on things.

Come across this before, think all that does is let you know how much data is on disk not how much it burns up too.

buy a dvd burner..vcds are so blurry

CDR's burn in 2 modes. Mode 1 and Mode 2. Mode 1 is for data and has error checking, you get 700 MB standard. Mode 2 has no error checking (this is for VCD and SVCD) and you get 800 MB standard. That's 15% overhead for error checking.

Now, a '99' minute CDR can have around 865 MB. Did you buy 99 Minute CDR's? Otherwise you can't even come close. Second, not every burner supports 99/90 minute CDR's (read and/or write)

The disk I have is

870MB 99Min.... it is DATA i want to burn not VCD or any video stuff.

Maybe this is too much for a Data Disk??

If Nero doesn't recognize it as a 99 minute CDR, then you have problems. If your burner can't read it, you have problems. Like I said before, not all burners will deal with it.

Make sure you have the latest Nero. I'd also try RecordMAX Now, I've had excellant luck using it to do non-standard things ( burning 24x CDR's at 48x, things like that).

From what I've read, no CD-R reports more than 80 mins (or the writer wont understand anything above 80 min) so regardless of writing app, it will never get more than 80 mins when it asks the writer for the capacity of the CD-R, be it 90 or 99 min.
So you got to tell the burner app to overburn, as soon as the data wont fit on a 80 min CD, no matter what's the real capacity of the CD-R.
(Think of 90/99 min CD-R as 80 min with a really nice capacity for overburning.)

It was VIDEO. It was a project I was playing with in TMPG. Just to see if it was posible. I have thrown the disk out because I could not get it to display it properly. It was SVCD. I burnt it in VCD Easy. Your CD Writter will need to write 99 mins Cd's, as mine does but not many do, or did when I was doing it then. I will do it again sometime but until that I will be doing more DVD compression.
