Burning a 800 MB CD

[smshinde]

Hello,
I am new to this forum.
Recently I have purchased 800 MB CD's. I have LG CD Writer.
I was not able to burn a 800 MB CD using Nero 6.3.
I experimented with most of the options but the last limit of MB that I can write is 703 MB.
I also tried the latest patches from Nero.Do anybody know how to burn the same?
Any other free software available for the same?

An 800 MB (90 minute) disc is a nonstandard length. Any disc over 700 MB (80 minutes) must use Nero overburn settings to allow it to be burned. Use the following settings:

1. Don't use the Nero Wizard. It will not allow overburning as it defaults to Track-At-Once. If it is active, close it.

2. Multisession | No Multisession must be checked

3. ISO | Check Mode 1 and Joliet

4. Burn | Check Write and Finalize CD (No further writing possible). Write method must be Disk-At-Once.

5. In the main menu, File | Preferences | Expert Settings check "Enable overburn disk-at-once burning". If you are using a 800 MB data disc, you can set the Maximum CD length to 90 minutes 0 seconds 0 frm. Hit Apply, then OK. If you are using a 650 or 700 MB data disc, use the overburn capacity test in Nero CD Speed to estimate the maximum overburn capacity.

6. The Red and Yellow marker settings in File | Preferences | General Settings have no effect on burning or overburning. They are there just as a visual aid.

These settings should allow you to attempt an overburn if your recorder and the media support it.

Try it .

i heard somewhere if u overburn a cd, it becomes less reliable and too much overburning also screws up the writer. is dis tru ?

[shivaranjan.b]

The overburning capacity of 700 mb cd's depend upon the brand.. Some support upto 733mb. This can be tested using nero cd speed....

Yeah there is always a risk of damaging the writer.

^ i lost my Samsung CD writer by always burning a 800 MB disc in overburn mode. so i've stopped it and opted for DVD long ago.
