Can anyone help me out in the overburning trick?:huh:

I have heard that we can convert an 80 min cd to a 90 min or more one:yahoo:

Is it possible using Nero ?:huh:

And how is it possible to find out whether my drive supports overburning?:huh:

Using nero and assuming you have overburning support on your cd writer, you can max go upto 716 MB of data or around 82 mins. anything more than that is not recommended.

Also even if you manage to burn more than 716MB on a 700MB cdr the data integrity is not guaranteed and in long run certain sectors would be unreadable.

Even after a 716MB overburn it is always advisable to run the data integrity check once.

Now, if you really need 90min of cdr, then go for the new 90-99min format cdr. For this too you need overburning capablity in your cd writer, and your cd writer must support the new format. you would get atleast 10-20 min of extra recording space compared to 80min cdr.

ps : for finding out types of media supported, overburning support etc run nero info tool or read the cd writer manual.

remember certain audio players might not read your overburned disks, best is be content with 700MB(advisable) - max 716 MB (maybe for data cd's) anything more is not worth it, overburning can also cause harm to your cd writer :(
 
in short, the whole thing's not recommended if u wanna the CDs to last long with all its data intact ... rght.
 
Exactly needed help regarding DVD's... By the way one offtrack doubt..Which DVD's shuld be preferred in Long Run.. +R or -R
 
Firstly the answer to your query.

Using Nero you can activate the overburning feature in the preferences.

In my version of Nero its in the "Expert Features" tab under "File -> Preferences".

Overburning being a bit risky, I rarely push my writer. When I do, I dont go more than 710 Mb. Seems like a stupid risk to take considering the prices of blank cds nowadays.

DVD-R/DVD-RW drives currently have the highest market penetration, both with PCs and Macs. As previously mentioned, DVD-R enjoys high compatibility with standalone DVD players. In addition, the low cost of DVD-RW is attractive to many for backup purposes. Furthermore, most standalone DVD players will read DVD-RW as well, although the compatibility rate is lower than with DVD-R.

DVD+R/DVD+RW is gaining market share, and these discs appear to have similar compatibility on standalone DVD players as DVD-R/DVD-RW discs. Similarly, current functionality with these drives is similar to DVD-R/DVD-RW drives, both for data and for video applications, and they likely are equally reliable.
