In order to burn a 90min CDR your CDRW drive itself must support it! and once you do, you can burn any 90min CD media.

Hi Ofir, which CDRW drive do you have ? you could check the list of CDReWriters posted on VCDhelp which i've made, it will tell you which drives support 90/99min media.

24x8x4, hmmm, my guess is that you can NOT burn 90 minute media, your drive sounds rather old, my drive is 24x4x4 and it doesnt support 90 minute. Either way, dont quote me, you should check up on it.

I'm afraid your CDRW is too old and does not support 90min CDRs
You can buy in Plonter the Lite-On 24x10x40 for 117$ and it supports upto 99min CDR media.

That's complete crap about drives being too old. I purchased my Teac CD-R55S in 1998 and it burns 99 minute CDs without a problem, Data, Audio and Video. A friends Iomega USB recorder is about 2 years newer than mine and it does not support 99 minute cds.

You really want to know if your drive can support these discs, go tot the http://www.nero.com site, check the drive compatibility list and see if you drive supports overburning.
Or if you have a newer version of Nero already installed, got to the 'Recorder' menu item and select 'Choose Recorder'. In there it will tell you if overburning is supported.

Have fun.

bosss7, it's not all that crap, it depends more on the manufacturer itself, not all old drives support 90/99, and the same goes for new drives as well.

Isn't it so that 80 minute CD-Rs are also "overburned". By now it would seem strange, though, if a CD-burner would not burn a 80-min CD-R. Nevertheless. First of all. Nero's list is not completely reliable. My Philips PCRW1208 supports overburning and the list says, it doesn't.

One tip: If you can get a hold of a small pack of 90-min discs (like 10 or so, here I can just buy in 50 and 100s) then buy it and try it. But first of all. Upgrade your burning software and your burner's firmware to the latest versions. It might help.

But one thing is for sure. It is very unlikely that your DVD Player will support a disc that is burned with over 90 minutes of data. A good thing, tho. You can still burn 85 minutes on a 90 minute CD-R. It increases the chances that your DVD player plays them to the end and also that your bunrer manages to burn them.
85 minutes are still better than 80, isn't that so?

Hope that helped.

Actually when the CD standard was formed, the 80min is well in spec, but was not used till recenet years, but it is in the official standard

The 90/99min is somewhat of an overstretch of the standard which is why not many is capable of it.

My recorder doesnt support overburning, and if burning 90 minute CDR's is overburning, then i am glad to stay away from it, during the process of overburning, you run the risk ( a minute risk, but still a risk ) of permanantly ******* up your drive lens, it is documented somewhere, who knows where but
