How do you overburn?

[Chrishuff1]

I got a 704 meg file to put on a cd and I was told you could just change a few settings in Nero and it would work, but it keeps telling me to put in a cd with a higher capacity on it😕 can someone point me in the right direction? 🙂

Depends what kind of file.

What is it?

Goto Burn, then close the Wizard (if you are using the Wizard), then select no Multisession, then select Disk At Once. Click Burn and away you go.

thats not really overburning, thats just removing some of the formatting data that isn't necessary... to overburn you have to go through a lot of warnings and things saying you could break your burner and stuff

it's in options somewhere. says something like 'enable DAO overburn'.. then when you go to overburn it'll say "WARNING YOU ARE ABOUT TO BLOW UP THE UNIVERSE, PRESS OK TO CONTINUE"

Doing what I said is required for overburning. After you click burn, then yes it will give you a warning and such.

Hey don't oversized video files burn just fine on an 80min CD without overburning? For example, I just ripped my copy of The Ring into SVCD last night, and each 80min VCD holds 789MB of data (didn't have to enable overburning to do this.) Confusing, eh? 😕

uncJIGGA: Good question. Whenever I tried, it would spit the cd out and tell me to stick a disk in with a larger medium 😕 Maybe your just lucky 😛

I think you can fit up to 740 MB on a 74 min CD and up to 800 MB on an 80 minute CD depending on what mode you burn it in. Check

That makes sense...explains why most Dreamcast 'GD-ROM' games could be copied into a regular 80min CD-R with no problems!
