prob with 99min/850mb discs

[xoemac]

i just bought a box of these from compusa and they won't read in my burner on my computer. i know why they won't work there.

my question is when i use them in the amoisonic vdr2000 they read as 80min/700mb discs not 99min/850mb. does anyone have any experience with the vdr2000 and know how to tweak it to read these discs correctly?

The only way you'll get your VDR to recognize these +90min CD-R's is via firmware. If Amoisonic don't release one I think you're stuck. Try contacting them (I believe their main offices are in Hong Kong) via their website.

Adam Electonics seem to be offering their own version of the VDR2000 - you might ask them for a firmware upgrade.

Is there any update for the VDR2000 available
or is there a way to use a DVD-(R)W or HDD instead to overcome the limitations?

Since I still use my VDR2000 I search on regular base and only found an article about firmwareprogramming but not intended to increase storing time so far.

While there might have been one I don't know since I can't read chineese at all.

90/99 min CDs are (at least have been) always reported as 80 min by the burner. Just look at them as 80 min CD-Rs with a good capacity for overburning.

what he said i have dealt with 90 min cds and that is what i had to do was to overburn because it only showed up as 80 min cd in nero......

To use 90/99 minute CDR's both your CDR burner and your burning software must be compatible with overburning. I don't see your burner even listed in the CDR section. Is it overburn comapible?

I noticed the same about 90' CD,
but I am just looking for a way to use the encoder to get longer streams.

I would be willing to buy a DVD-(R)W or a HDD and format it to whatever is needed (some claimed that DVD-player could use a HDD with Linux partitions but have not read anyone reporting about it) for this purpose.

??? ??? What are you trying to achieve?

To use the VDR Hardware as grabbber for several hours at a time not just 37`. Preferably to be able to use it directly to stream to my PC/a HDD

The quality is acceptable for me just the 37`is to short and I don't like beeing forced to use a VCR to buffer it so I don't miss anything.

I have tried several external grabber with USB-1.1 +2.0 to replace my VDR but was not to happy with the results.

...and this has what to do with 90/99 min cds?

It was the only time someone was interested in the VDR2000.

I hoped the one owning the same VDR would know.
