Is It Possible...? 681 mb on a 650 MB CD-R .....

[BigBlackFan]

I was wondering is it possible to burn

(with Nero) a 681 meg VCD onto a 650meg/

74 min. CD-R(Gigastorage)...I read somewhere

that it was....Thanks in advance...

of course it is! that 681mb mpeg is equivalent to only ~68 minutes worth of audio/video data and since the capacity of the disc is 74 minutes, it will easily fit.

Why not buy 80 minute CD-R

You can fit up to roughly 78 minutes on an 80 minute cdr if it is to VCD spec's....71 or so on a 74 min cdr. You need to leave some room for the file structure of the disc....

i can usually get ~737mb (73 minute) mpegs on 74 min discs. on 80 min discs, i can usually burn mpegs up to ~789mb (78 minute) in size.

I overburn in nero and can get 82 minutes on an 80min disc with a menu screen aswell, Ive started burning onto 90+ min discs and can overburn up to 95 mins of movie a great thing to behold ... Likkletree

likkletree-
What brand is your burner? I'm in the market for a new one and there is no indication on the retail boxes as to what you are going to get i.e overburn, 90min etc.

It whould be great if this site did with CDR-R/Ws what they did w/ DVD players.

[hitechjunkie]

with the latest firmware, my burner now supports overburning. how do i get nero to actually attempt an overburn?

hitechjunkie,
you go to the preferences and expert features. the second box is the one you check to overburn, and then you specify the max time of the disc that is going to be (over)burnt.

[hitechjunkie]

thanks riot - i do remember checking that overburn box in expert features but do not remember having to specify the max time of the disc. i've got an older version nero v5.0.1.8. does this version allow overburning as well?

[likkletree]

dbMAN .... IVE GOT THE RICOH MP7200A IT WRITES 20SPEED REWRITES AT 10SPEED AND READS AT 40 SPEED . I HAVE BEEN BURNING MY MOVIES AT FULL SPEED AND NEVER EVER HAD A PROBLEM , ITS BURNPROOF ASWELL (JUSTLINK ON RICOH'S)

I got 720megs on a 700meg cd.


Nero must have auto-overburned even though I disabled this option.


DAMN ZIPCD, IOMEGA, NEW FIRMWARE NEEDED

@greg
if you're burning a vcd, the disc holds 800mb.

@hitechjunkie
i've seen it since version 4.0
(by default, Nero has overburning set to 76 minutes, that's why i said specify if you want a different max. time.)
