How to "OVERBURN" a CD >650MB>>>???

[Breaker78]

Is this possible with Adaptec easy cd creator???

Do i need to buy special 80 min cd's??

I have an image that is about 662 MB. Shouldn't I be able to squeeze this onto a cd?

Thanks for the help.

Ok, well first off, I don't think Adaptec will let you overburn, but Nero will. Though overburning can damage your CDR physically, so I personally don't do it. Though to overburn 12MB of data is quite a lot, and I doubt you'll fit that onto a 650MB disc. One of your options is to buy an 80Min/700MB disc and that will burn on completely. As for overburning, it depends on the media and CDR drive though what you want to do is too much for the CD.

A image file that is 662MB with fit on a CD and then some. Just burn it.

662mb is too negligible of an amount to worry about overburning....like urbantechie said, just burn, it should be fine, use nero, i find it to be the best buring proggy.

Size doesnt always matter. Depending on the type of image, it goes by minutes. You can easily fit a file 700+ meg on a 650 cd because the image is around 74 min. I suggest you use CDRWIN or fireburner to burn bin/cue and i like discjuggler for the rest.

I've heard tell cdrwin is the best overburner. something about the TOC it writes is smaller

The drive, or the media?

The drive...


Also, an image file is sometimes larger than the space it actually takes (I burned 740MB clonecd images to normal 650 MB cd-r)
