cd burning software - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Sion · 04-27-2003, 09:43 PM

I recently bought some 870mb/99min and 800mb/90min cdrs (demo pack, 5 of each for a total of $13 w/shipping) off an website. the site clearly stated that they WONT work with Nero, and they are correct. Nero (v 5.5) will not recognize them as anything more than 700mb discs.

so, I tried downloading a couple fo the recommended progs that were supposed to work (Discjuggler and CDRwin) but had trouble with them. Discjuggler didnt recognize them as any bigger than 700mb either, and CDRwin kept locking up my comp.

so, any ideas what software will work? is there a workaround for Nero? Id like to continue to use Nero if possible as I like the prog, very simple to use, good interface.

a guy I know at work uses Roxio sometimes. anyone like that prog? will it recognize 800+mb discs?

870 and 800 MB cdrs?

I didn't think that was possible. Besides that, most cd-recorders are capable of recording that type of CD. Check back with the guy at work and make sure it is a standard cd-burner he is using. If you are not careful, you can really screw up your burner.

spleen, Ive got the latest Lite-On model (52x24x52) which Liteon says is capable of doing 90 and 99 min discs. the link you provided suggests as much also (couple of posters said they do it with older Liteon models) so Im not so much worried about that as getting Nero (or some other software) to do it. Im gonna try the tips suggested in that thread and will report back with results. thanks.

try getting a copy of nero 5.5.10.20
it might work, I know it is the only program that nero has right now that allows for dvd-r and rw burn capabilities so i'm guessing if it can burn up to 4+ Gb it might work for higher capacity cd-rs like yours... just a suggestion

SUCCESS!!!

from the link that spleen provided:

An 800 MB (90 minute) disc is a nonstandard length. Any disc over 700 MB (80 minutes) must use Nero overburn settings to allow it to be burned. Use the following settings:

1. Don't use the Nero Wizard. It will not allow overburning as it defaults to Track-At-Once. If it is active, close it.

2. Multisession | No Multisession must be checked

3. ISO | Check Mode 1 and Joliet

4. Burn | Check Write and Finalize CD (No further writing possible). Write method must be Disk-At-Once.

5. In the main menu, File | Preferences | Expert Settings check "Enable overburn disk-at-once burning". If you are using a 800 MB data disc, you can set the Maximum CD length to 90 minutes 0 seconds 0 frm. Hit Apply, then OK. If you are using a 650 or 700 MB data disc, use the overburn capacity test in Nero CD Speed to estimate the maximum overburn capacity.

6. The Red and Yellow marker settings in File | Preferences | General Settings have no effect on burning or overburning. They are there just as a visual aid.

These settings should allow you to attempt an overburn if your recorder and the media support it.

I just finished burning LOTR: Fellowship extended version cd1 (802mb) to an 870/99 disc and it worked perfectly.

WHOOOOHOOOOO!!!

thanks a bunch spleen. TFP to the rescue again.

I've read that certain Lite-On models support up to 99 Min. Now that's some serious storage.

I just got mine about 2 or 3 weeks ago from Best Buy. It was boxed as a Buslink brand, but its a Lite-On LTR 52246S, their latest and greatest (52x24x52). Really NICE drive. But best of all was the price: $69.99 with $50 worth of mail in rebates = $20 for a top of the line burner.

fucker smokes too. burnt and verified that 802mb video file in 11 minutes. imagine how fast it would have been if my machine was as powerful as the drive is.
