900 megs?

[rrrredrum]

My Cd-RW unit is supposed to support 900 meg Cd's. But when I insert them into Nero, nero claims they havee only 703 megs, any idea how to sovle that?

There is no way to read the capacity from 90 and 99 min CD-R just because it's impossible to store this information on the CD-Rs. So CD writing software will give wrong information about the capacity of such CDs. But you should be able to use the whole capacity. Low writing speed should be used.

Some programs have a list of 90/99 min CD-R brands and their capacity and so they tell the capacity from the values of this list. AFAIK Feurio (www.feurio.de), a writing software specialised on audio CDs is such a program.

Does that mean I won't be able to burn SVCD's on them? Not beng able to use the extra spacE?

If you CD-RW drive supports 99 min CD-Rs you can use all the space with Nero. You need to enable the 'overburn' option in the 'Expert Features' tab.

I've made several 90 min. VCDs with Nero in order to fit movies on one CD instead of spreading them over 2 CDs. Works fine.
