overburning a DVD?

[quangdaika]

Have anyone tried this? I'm trying to making a copy of this one DVD with DVDShrink and it won't get any smaller than 4496 MB. I tried taking out the menus and everything. With Nero, I can have the option to OverBurn up to 4500 MB. I'm using Verbatim 8X DVDR Made in Taiwan.

yep, I've had that problem before with DVDShrink.

I let it do its thing, didn't try to burn the DVD. You'd never fit 4496mb on a 4.7gb DVD, even with overburning. After DVDShrink finished making the DVD folder on the hard drive, I just opened that folder in DVDShrink and shrank it again, then burned the second folder.

Good luck

According to most forums FAQs over at doom9.org, you cannot overburn a DVD, only CDs (at this time). The hardware/software isn't capible of it.
