How do you overburn

[SonicTron]

Trying to overburn with Nero 5.5.4.0

Using a Liteon 24x drive

Set expert settings to allow overburn up to 99 minutes

Set burn mode to disc at once

Try to burn........says my media does not have the required space (duh, hence my attempt to overburn)

Look at burn mode, and it has reset itself to not have disc at once

what am I doin wrong?

go to file preferences of NERO, select the expert tab, enable overburn and key in the max length CD, watch out though, most CD's won't burn more than about 85 min in my experience, and I also make my drive very unstable until i uninstalled reinstalled it when doing it on a TEAC burner, it really isn't worth doing if you don't 'have' to...

Help me, thats basically what I said I did.

Nero says that the cd is to small and eject it, don't it?
When it eject the CD just load it in again, after it have loaded Nero should promt you with a warning that says you can "activate DAO overburn at your own rist".
Basicly just press the CD back when it comes out.
Hope you can get it work now.

Can you damage your cd-rw drive by overburning? Also...how many mb is equivalent to 85 minutes?

 

[SonicTron]

oh, hmmm I set it to not eject when it finished burning, maybe thats why I couldn't get it to work. I'll try setting it to eject.

OK, it spits the CD back at me and asks for a compatible CD with enough space, I reinsert the CD and it continues to spit it back at me over and over!!

Checked again, expert settings Overburn enabled up to 99 minutes, I'm trying to burn in ISO Mode 1 and every time I enable disc at once it disables itself only after telling me my CDR is too small.

Anyone have this problem and found a workaround?

You need to use an overburn value that is doable - 99 minutes is not with the media/drive you have. Your drive has to support overburning as well, not all do, I don't know about the Lite-On 24.

If you have say an 80min CD, you need to start playing with higher numbers to see what it can do - maybe like 83 or 84 or something - it's not going to do 99 which it sounds like you have it set to.

And if you really need the extra minutes/megabytes, you could just use the 90min CDs that have recently been popping up.

Arrgh I've tried setting to 82 minutes as well, and I'll be damned if the Liteon 24x doesn't do any overburning.

Who has a liteon 24x and can overburn?

Try updating the firmware?
