help burning ISO image (will fit on DVD-R not DVD+R) ?

[Renegade_UK]

Hello , i'm currently working with a DVD ISO image file which is supposed to be burned using DVD-R...
However, i own a DVD+R drive and to my knowledge, the ISO will fit on DVD-R
(and not DVD+R)..

Help!
The ISO image is exactly 4,703,617,024............(so won't fit on DVD+R)

Is there any way of overburning to get it to fit..?

p.s. i got some info about capacity of DVD+R and DVD-R,... kinda
explains what i mean..

Blank DVD-R 4,489MB 4,706,074,624 bytes or 4.383GB

Blank DVD+R 4,483MB 4,700,372,992 bytes or 4.377GB

Any help would be very gratefully received!! TIA!

I don't think this 3MB would be a problem when burning ISO

BTW burning programs usually have a TEST option before burning
Something like:
"Test and if OK then Record."

I just checked: our drives don't support testing before burning DVDs.


I'd just give it a go and write that ISO with DVD Decrypter

thanks for your reply, but i am curious if it is possible to 'Overburn'
data onto DVD..?

Normally, when i burn disk it says... (Not enough space on disc..)

I burned the iso with DVD Decrypter....and had an error at 99%... it then closed the disc and finalized it...

Is it possible to overburn...with DVD...or is this a myth?

And does it play?

Both RecordNow Max(DX) and Nero support overburning but I don't know if it will give you any good, that space just seems too tight.

Try it, if it doesn't work you need to cut a couple of frames off your movie
its 3MB only
