Burning a 800 MB CD-R?

#

Started by RobbyVDH in Chit-Chat

As there are a lot of intelligent people on this board, I hope someone can tell me how I have to burn a 800 MB CD-R?

I use Nero, but it says that my CD is only 700 MB although I especially sent Roxy to the shop to get me 800 MB :rolleyes: And she got me 800 MB CD-Rs so that’s not the problem.

Some people have told me that I should activate the “overburn” function, but that could damage the CD-R and my CD-writer.

Is that correct?

And is it also correct that some types of CD-writer simply can not burn 800 MB CD-Rs?

Your help is much appreciated :)

I thought that only dvds could hold more than 700mb.

Guess I was wrong.

I think you will find that 700mb is the max on a cd which equals 80mins of audio.
maybe thats where the mistake has come up.

I have worked in audio studios all my life and haven’t seen 800mb. are you sure its’ 800mb and not 80mins?

I burned a 800 MB disc a while ago with alcohol 120%, but that was a ready to go image, not a compilation of audio tracks if that’s what you intend to do.

You could simply try out to simulate the burning process first, should do no harm. If you have a rather old burner it’s possible that it won’t work I guess. From what I’ve gathered you need to burn in any event in DAO-Mode.

It is a 800 MB CD-R which equals 90 minutes of audio.

I’ll try this overburn thing tomorrow and see how much damage it will do to my burner.

Thx for the replies anyway and thanks Divers for the link :)

According to my copy of Nero, it says that if you try and burn more audio to a cd than it technically has, then that’s overburning and may damage your burner (eg. if you try and burn 83 minutes onto an 80 minute CD-R), which suggests that as long as the cd-r is long enough, you should be fine. Doesn’t mean you can’t fuck up your burner in some other way, though! :D ;)

Ok I’ve tried it and it worked :)

I only fucked up 2 CD-Rs so that’s pretty good I guess.

Long live technology :D

Well I first checked with Nero to see if my CD-writer is actually possible to overburn CDs. Which was the case.

Then in Nero I activated the overburn function.

And after that I burned it with “disk at once”.

In total I had to burn 2 CDs of approx. 750 MB each.

The first CD-R already gave a data error after 10 seconds and had an “unrecoverable” error :o

The second try went ok and that CD played fine when I tested it in my mp3 player.

For some reason my other CD I had to burn twice, twice without an error message from Nero but 1 played in my car and 1 didn’t… don’t know why, but now all my metal mp3s are on 2 discs so I’m happy :cool:

I have been told that you have to replace those yellow and red lines instead of using overburn…
and repacing them can be done by opening nero express 6, click on “more…” and then “configure…” there you can change the lenght settings.
I haven’t tried it yet, so I don’t know if that’s a safer way not to break down your burner and cd-r’s… :rolleyes:
