Overburn

[Lolsmurf]

Is there anyone who have some experience with overburning a disc.
What is the maximum size in MB that can be overburned on a 80 min CD-R?

Thanks so far.

The highest report I have heard so far is 809mb on a 700mb cdr.

Thanks for thr reply...

That's a pity...I have some stunning quality on SVCD wich measures 840 MB a disc. Have to reduce then to a lower size. I did'nt know because i never overburned a disc. I read at someone's homepage that it was possible to burn 805 MB without overburning, so i thought if i overburn maybe i can drop about 850 MB on a disc.

Thanks....

You can burn those if you buy 90 or 100 minute CDs, available on the internet. One caveat: not all CD burners are compatible with those discs, and Toast isn't, but Missing Media Burner is.

I have to ask one more question.

A long time ago i've read a message here that you could read some important information at Roxio.com.
Roxio said that it could harm your CD-R drive when you overburn discs.
Is this true?
I know i can't copy the recorded discs that i overburned but that is'nt a problem to me.
I will buy some 90 and 100 minute discs and try it out with MissingMediaBurner and see what happens.
Thank you all for helping me out with this.
