90 min cd shows as 96mb ?

[Moloken]

Hi !

Just bought 5 90min cds, heard they would work with any burner.But when i put the cds in the cd recorder and check how big the cd is it's only 96mb ? Have looked for firmware upgrades with no luck.My cd recorder is a Sony CRX145E.Tried several burning programs on my computer nero/winoncd/easy cd and all say that the cd is only 96mb.
Really annoying that they don't work ... Maybe somebody can give me a direct link to firmware upgrade or any other tip.

Thanks in advanced

i just started using the overburn capability of my burner with some 80min discs using Nero. really nice for getting that extra 5-10mb of mpeg on a disc.

i've got an older version of Nero, v5.0.18, and when i use cdr info, Nero correctly tells me the capacity for 80min discs, about 79mins and 797mb. that's interesting that it would only show a 700mb capacity for the 90min discs. i guess Nero is only reporting info that the device/driver is returning. it's probably a function of the device's firmware.
