Hi Capacity CD-R's

[robbo2]

Does anyone know how to get Nero 5.5 to recognise these new 850mb CD-R's? The media info just shows it as 800mb disk. I'm using a Teac W524 drive. Any help appreciated.

There's a trick: all of the CD-Rs with more than 80 Minutes/700 MB tell the recorder, they are 80min/700MB CD-Rs. Just ignore the message of your CD-Recording program and burn the CD, it will work, if your recorder supports it. I had problems first, because win on CD 3.8 has a flaw: it crashes everytime I want to write to a 90Min CD-R directly, I have to create a disc image first, then it works fine. I think Nero will work without problems.

The problem is that Nero will not burn the CD as it say's the media doesn't have the required space to carry it out, so I don't think that'll work!

it works with nero!
with nero 5.5 and my acer 2010A i can burn 92min.30sec. on a platinum 800MB cdr. i don't know the capacity of other mediums than platinum but there's a table on tomshardware where platinum is the best.
in nero you have to change the preferences to enable overburn (file --> preferences)

It varies from burner to burner and program. With Nero, you have to enable overburning and the best drive is a Mitsumi 8x junk that I burned 962 MB SVCD on a Compusa 99 min CDR (gold one). My Iomega could not record more than 900 MB with the same setup.
CD worked great in the DVD player also, all the way.

You have to enabled overburning in the perfermences and set it to 99min,59secs.
