The amount you can overburn depends on your burner and your media. 83 mins is definitely possible, all you can do is just try it. All of the software burning programs state that overburning can potentially damage your burner, but I have never heard of it actually happening.

In Nero's expert features there is an area where you can set the maximum amount of data to burn per disk, just raise it as high as you want and try to burn and see how far you can go.

So the type of media matters when it comes to trying to do an overburn? So would like one type of media differ from another (all 80min media of course) and info would be great, thanks

The amount you can overburn relies almost entirely on your media type. There is an "overburning test" option in Nero CD Speed (I'm pretty sure), which will tell you to the second how much you can overburn with your media. FYI, the most I ever successfully overburned was ~3.5 min's, but it was only an audio cd.

Enable the overburning feature and set it to 83 minutes then do a simulation before you burn (choose file->preferences -> expert features).

Read the Help section of your Nero software and look up over-burning. Even they admit that it's unlikely that you'll do damage to your CD burner by overburning.

The most I've gotten on regular 80min CDR with Nero is about 82 and 1/2 minutes (850 megs), so you might not make it. If it isn't going to work, Nero has always stopped me before it's even started the actual burn so there's not a great risk in trying it.

You MUST use Disc-at-once rather than track-at-once when you do the actual simulation/burn and, you want to create a Video CD as your new CD format when you're first creating the new project.
