how does overburning work?

I enabled the overburn feature using nti cd-maker 5.1.29 and tried the same with nero ver.5.5.9.14 but everytime I tried to burn the cd tray pops out saying insufficient space. I'm trying to write 81mins of data using a 80min cd-rw. My burner is a plextor 48/24/48. Also if I use nti cd-maker, sometimes after the burn, everytimes slows down so much the OS isn't even operational, anyone have this problem with nti cd-maker under winxp pro using this plextor model?
 
Overburning really depends on how much "extra" you plan on putting on the cd and it can differ from cd media to cd media.
I just burned a 74 min cdrw the other day with 75min 19secs of data (on my Liteon 40x), but some cds may not let you go over 1 extra minute. It also differs from burning program to program because some may take more space to close a session and write the table of contents than other programs do, thereby giving you less space on the cd than you might have been able to put on it with a different program. Some burners just don't allow overburning even if the software says it supports it, or it may not handle overburning as well as other burners.

I would experiment with a cdrw at first and then see what you can do with your burner using different programs. Nero seems to overburn for me quite well, and I would also look at Cdrwin as well, which also works well.
