CD-99mins

[Condor]

I red somewhere a article with mentioned 99 mins. Does anybody knows if the one exists or not. I know only 75 mins and 80 mins.

99min cds are available here in the US. I've tried the 99min CDs from COMPUSA (major retailer) and it worked
well with my LG 8160b burner. I was able to burn
my VCDs at 16x.

what brand si it?

[lrama1]

the brand is COMPUSA.

You say you were able to burn with the LG8160b at 16x?

I have a few questions;
1 - What software were you using and what version?
2 - Which brand of media?
3 - 99min is actually 830mb, exactly how much did you get out of it?
4 - What speed were you able to use for overburning with this drive to 830mb?

(I could make may assumptions from your post, that is why I am asking the specifics...)

I am considering buying this burner, and I use nero.

99 minute CDR's are 850 megs not 830.

Answers to loud's Qs:
1. Nero 5.5.4.0
2. The brand is actually "COMPUSA".
3. I was able to overburn upto 99min
4. Even with/overburning I was able to burn at 16x speed
which actually kinda surprised me.

BTW, the media is actually rated at 24x.
FYI, I think the LG8160b burner is on sale at BestBuy for $79 after rebates.

Just over burned a compusa 99min CD last night with my LG 8080b. SVCD 480x480 capture using Dazzle DVC2. Burned with Nero 5, I was able to burn 872mb on the 850mb disc. Got my burner a Compuvest.com for $76.00 total shipped.

HELP!!! I can't find these CompUSA 99-min CD-Rs in their website. And I don't live near in any of their stores. Any other place I can buy 90/99-min CD-Rs?

I believe someone had posted the actual part/stock # of this
item. Use that number instead to search the COMPUSA site.
