Can I burn 81 minutes on to an 80 minute CD-R?

[clamum]

Do you think it's possible to overburn an 80 minute CD-R (Memorex) by 1 minute and 8 seconds? I thought I've heard that you can burn a little bit more than 80 (or 74) minutes on to a CD but I wasn't sure. Thanks.

no

 

[funkymatt]

i think nero can do overburn.

 

[Saint Nick]

you have to set Nero to overburn to 81min.

Can you shove 10lbs of sh1t into a 9lb thread?

 

[notfred]

probably.

I was using Easy CD Creator and it won't even allow me to burn one with 80:01

Use compression.

Why dont you try it and find out. Heard of simulation burning?

 

[Platypus]

Yep, overburn.

Though it depends on much more data it adds.

I've gotten away with 10MB over the 700MB limit before, never tried anything higher.

There is a word for that, it's called blivit.

 

[clamum]

Ok trying it now...

No, you'll cause the universe to implode if you try.

Just give it a shot. Some CD-writing software will let you overburn a bit, but not a whole lot. Worst that can happen is ending up with a new 10 cent coaster.

i usually burn up to 81:45 with the media and lite-on drive i use. anything beyond that starts to skip when im playing the final tracks.

 

[clamum]

Yup it worked. Thanks

 

[TGS]

Overburning, works on any Overburn? enabled drive. Though it can only be read from Overburn? drives.

 

[Nitemare]

No, you have to buy 81 minute media for that...

 

[NickelTitanium]

yes , ditto on the Nero overburn

 

[Xyclone]

Yeah, Nero should do it with no problem.

 

[imported_Phil]

No, it will explode, burn and kill everyone in a ten-mile radius.

 

[Mo0o]

Make sure to crank the power to 11

 

[Shawn]

i do it all the time. works fine.

 

[AMDZen]

It depends mainly on the writer, and the media.

Example: I have an older Lite-On that overburns everything I've ever wanted it to. I also have some media thats designated at 90/99 minute media. I have burned more then 90 minutes onto a disc with this combination, with a maximum around 95 - but could maybe do more. Unfortunetely 90/99 minute discs are near impossible to find anymore, so I use the last 50 stack I have sparringly. I still have a good 25+ left.

Where's the poll???


We need a poll!

I've always been fearful of that Nero message that says it can damage your burner if it's not supported, etc. I never went ahead with overburn.
