Overburning with Nero

[Ceres]

I'm trying to fit 703mb on a 700mb CD-R, and It wont let me fit it.

I enabled the overburning, moved the markers yellow = 80, red = 83

MY CD-R/RW writer is SAMSUNG SV8004H, I think that one lets me overdrive.

When I hit the burn button, my CD drive opens and it says "Theres not enough room on this media, insert one with more space" or something like close to that.

help!!!!

You have to enable overburning in NERO here:
FILE>PREFERENCES>EXPERT FEATURES.

Enter the length you want here.

You also might want to check the CD-R to see how much you can overburn it. One of the options in Nero will check the CD-r for size and overburn size. I'm at work right now and don't have Nero here. I have TDK CD-Rs that will overburn to 719meg and Maxell that will not(only 700meg).

I've found that using an 80 minute CD, Nero will usually only let me burn 82 minutes, even with overburn. I don't know why, but it won't let me go past that, if I set it to 83, it tells me the same thing, and when I set it back to 82 it work fine. Are you burning Video or data?

If I remember correctly, NERO won't stop you from trying to put 95 minutes on an 80 minute CD, if you have set the overburn length to this amount (just moving the red and the yellow line have nothing to do with overburning). If you are lucky, all your data will burn okay, but your lead-out will fail. Your CD may play okay without the proper lead-out (depends on your player). I've got a stack of CD-Rs that don't have a proper lead-out (pushed the envelope too far!), but generally play okay.

But, to enable overburn, you must set in the EXPERT FEATURES both the switch to turn it on, and the length that you want to burn. I imagine that jldl0t turned on the switch, but has the length set to only 82 minutes (which is the default overburn length).

I would set the overburn to 83, 84 minutes, what ever, and it would pull up saying that the medium in the drive wouldn't support that amount of information, and to please insert a disc that would, or use two CDs. I just realized I mistyped - I meant to say that "Nero would usually" - I had that problem with my old version of Nero. Since I've upgraded to the newest version I haven't had that problem. Sorry for the confussion there, SLK001
If you've tried setting the overburn like SLK001 said, and it still won't do it, check and see if there is an update available...

i think the most nero can put on a 700mb cd-r is about 830mb or so. to do this u might wanna try to go to file>preference>expert features>enable overburn and put 99 for the mins. u might wanan put this number to around 85 mins. the reason i put this to 99 mins is b/c i have 870mb cd-r which in turn there around 990mb when used in overburning in nero. and also before u burn the file make sure u have selected disc-at-once in the write method in the burn tab. this will jump from mode1 to mode2. i hope this helps u
